Tea party seeks to honor fallen SEALS at Benghazi with sculpture

They loom over him, brandishing their weapons, their gaze steady. The sculptor can feel the presence of the heroes he honors in clay and bronze, U.S. Navy SEALs all.

And all of them gone.

"I am an intuitive artist. I believe and I feel that their spirits are in the room when I am working, and that they’re helping me finish that work,” said Greg Marra, a Florida sculptor who is a man on a mission. He is determined to tell the stories of fallen American warriors.

“I know it sounds crazy, but I feel their presence. That’s what happens when you’re creating a life-sized image of someone.”

Mr. Marra has focused attention on Chris Kyle — a SEAL sniper who was gunned down this year on a Texas shooting range — along with Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, former SEALs killed during the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. Also on the ever-expanding list of subjects: Adam Brown, one of 17 SEALs who died in the 2011 crash of a CH-47 Chinook helicopter in Afghanistan that killed an additional 13 Americans. Then there’s SEAL Team 6. Mr. Marra intends to immortalize those who took out Osama bin Laden and has picked “Payback” as the title for the grouping.

I tend to like more abstract works, but I am very interested in seeing the final version of these figures.

Benghazi ping.

Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off the Benghazi ping list

They should be given a prominent pedestal to put the monument on right outside the State Department in foggy bottom. Everyone from John Kerry on down should be forced to walk past it on their way to the office.

They should drop a 50 foot version made of iron on Hillary “What difference does it make” Clintons doorstep.

Agreed. An action pose would be better. Something that portrays movement.. Answering a call to action. Taking up a position. Static just doesn’t do it.

WRONG! Adam Brown died in a gunfight in 2010.

Members of SEAL Team SIX that were in that gunfight were killed in the Extortion 17 crash -— including a FReeper.

The Democrat party are nothing but treasonous rats from the top to the bottom.

Ah, another picture of obozo playing with himself again. There should be a album made up of obozo playing with himself...whether he's giving the world his famous middle finger salute, or using those same fingers to fiddle with himself, it speaks volumes. And it should be captured in a photo album, labeled Shame and Disgust, Socialist/Marxist/Communist/Muzzie Sympathizer Style.

All I can think to say is when barry was quoted as saying he’s good at killing, I had no idea he meant our SEALS.

What an evil pos -

I would gladly make a contribution to commission that statue!
