Troop Memorial
Can You Believe a Teenager Did This?
There is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy. 25 in rural Iowa. For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed.
I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it ' s not.
It ' s actually painted on the rock too.

This statue currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now home to the 4th Infantry
Division. 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 America 's 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.
