Sept. 11 monument will pay tribute to U.S. warriors in Afghanistan (*)
by Alex Quade, The Washington Times, 28 October 2011
| Quote: | The first statue near ground zero to salute the heroes of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks will not depict a New York firefighter or policeman — but a lone U.S. commando on horseback in the Afghan mountains.
Titled "De Oppresso Liber" — "to free the oppressed," the Green Berets' motto — the 3-ton, 18-foot-tall bronze monument was forged to honor the troops who first responded to al Qaeda's attack from its safe haven in Afghanistan.
A piece of steel from the World Trade Center is embedded in its base, which bears the words "America's Response Monument." The statue will be unveiled during the national Veterans Day Parade in New York on Nov. 11.
Its artist, Douwe Blumberg, was inspired in part by a photo of commandos on horseback in Afghanistan that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld displayed during a news conference in late 2001. |

This kind of makes me feel ill...
Anybody want to contact the artist? I don't suppose its his fault - but he has had a large number of special forces commissions...
