Can someone please tell me when it was decided by Russia to design and send over this beautiful monument. I would really like the know the whole story, from the first thought up to the delivery here in the states.
I would also like to know why this monument was placed in such an obscure spot. Not only is the monument in a not very high profile place, but not even our own media reported on this. How many people who don't know about this monument will just happen across it? I am an American, an All American (82nd ABN) in fact, and this is one of those times where I am really upset how America handled this.

Choctaw, maybe we should send this link to our local newspapers, or TV stations?

That's not a bad idea actually. I still wonder how this could have been so secret.

well I'm not too surprised at our (American) media. Personally, I think the lack of coverage would be shameful, if true. I always wondered why the (broadcast) media has to play background music for those "touching" stories. I always wondered why the media uses the terms "drama", and "dramatic" to describe real life situations when drama is more a term of theater. I googled the definition:

not a mention of real life events among the definitions I checked. Well, that's my anti-media rant.
