TIKRIT, Iraq — When he was forced to fashion statues of Saddam Hussein on horseback, the Iraqi sculptor had no idea that someday he would melt them down to create a memorial for U.S. soldiers.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm crying so hard, I can hardly breathe.
What a beautiful memorial to our warrior heroes.
I'm going to print out this thread on my friend's inkjet and take them with me to Walter Reed tomorrow. They need to see this - out of the horror and abuses of Hussein's reign comes a memorial to a fallen soldier.
Thanks for the ping, RC. Glad to see you back!
