A model of the bronze statue being sculpted in Iraq by local
artists is based on an actual event. The statue is based on a photograph
featuring Sgt. Joshua Wood and then-Spc. Matthew Tuttle (now a sergeant),
members of the 545th Military Police Company, as they tried to render life-
saving aid to school children wounded by an insurgent mortar attack in April.
The bronze statue, when complete, will be the centerpiece of a new 1st Cavalry
Division memorial slated to be built adjacent to Cooper Field, the parade field
fronting the 1st Cavalry Division's headquarters at Fort Hood, Texas. Photo by
