Human "Statue Of Liberty"

I find it amazing that this photo, taken so many years ago, actually still exists! And now, someone has put it online for all of us to see. This INCREDIBLE picture was taken in 1918.

It is 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge, in Iowa EIGHTEEN THOUSAND MEN!!!!!

What a priceless gift from our grandfathers!

    Good morning!

    How will Marian?

    By a coincidence I found your blog and decided to leave a message after reading it.

    The Statue of Liberty was a mega construction.

    I was impressed with the number of men working on the project, 18,000. This is a battalion!

    Picture of 1918, the year that my grandfather was born.

    Stay with God!

    Pedro.
