DO YOU  KNOW WHAT THIS IS? OR WHERE THIS IS?

This statue stood outside the Iraqi palace, now home to the 4th Infantry division.

The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named  Kalat, who for years was  forced by  Saddam Hussein to make the many  hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad.

Kalat was so grateful for the Americans liberation of his country; He melted 3 of the heads of the  fallen Saddam and made the statue as a memorial to the American soldiers and their fallen warriors.

Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.  

To the  left of the kneeling soldier is a  small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort  as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.

The statue was shipped home and put in the memorial museum in Fort  Hood , Texas.

Do you know why we don't hear about this in the news?
