STATUE IN IRAQ









THE NEW BRONZE STATUE IN IRAQ






|AMP|nbsp;


THIS IS GREAT! and something every American should see. Be sure to read the information below…..



This statue currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now home to the 4th Infantry division.|AMP|nbsp; It will eventually be shipped home and put in the memorial museum in Fort Hood,Texas.

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.|AMP|nbsp; 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.

Do you know why we don’t hear about this in the news?|AMP|nbsp; Because it is heart warming and praise worthy.|AMP|nbsp; The media avoids it because it does not have the shock effect that a flashed breast or controversy of politics does.|AMP|nbsp; But we can do something about it.|AMP|nbsp; We can pass this along to as many people as we can in honor of all our brave military who is making a difference. Thank you!!

Send this to everyone in your address book!|AMP|nbsp; Pray for and support our military men and women!

About waynem

As a Minnesota based photographer and artist I have been greatly influenced by the Upper Midwest. I focus my skills and energies on portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, architectural and fine art work. My best work comes from images first painted in my mind. I mull over a prospective image for weeks or months, seeing it from different angles and perspectives, then finally deciding what to capture. The result is images that deeply touch people's emotions and powerfully evoke memories and dreams. My images are used commercially by companies and organizations ranging from Financial Services firms, mom and pop Ice Cream shops and The Basilica of St Mary to communicate their shared vision and values. Book and magazine publishers have featured my images on their covers. My photographs also grace and enhance the decor of many fine homes.
