Human Statue of Liberty I find it amazing that this photo, taken so many years ago, actually still exists! 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 and great-grandfathers!
