STANDING TALL FOR THE U.S.A.

Here are some facts that were discovered about this picture.

It was taken in 1918 to help sell war bonds, but the picture was actually never used and is now on display in Chicago's Carl Hammer Gallery.

Dressed in wool uniforms in 105 degree weather, many men fainted during
this project. From the position nearest the camera to the last man at the top
of the torch as plotted on the ground was 1,235 feet, or approximately a
quarter mile. The figures below will give you an idea of how distorted the
proportions of the actual ground measurements had to be for this photograph
to work.

Base to shoulder - 150 feet
Right arm- 340 feet
Widest part of the arm holding the torch- 12 1/2 feet
Right thumb - 35 feet
Thickest part of the body- 29 feet
Left hand -30feet long
Tablet in left hand - 27 feet
Face- 60 feet
Nose - 21 feet
Longest spike of the head piece- 70 feet
Flame on the torch - 600 feet
Torch and flame combined- 980 feet
Number of men in the flame of the torch- 12,000
Number of men in the torch- 2,800
Number of men in the right arm- 1,200
Number of men in the body, head and balance of the figure-2,000
There were twice as many men in the flame of the torch as in the whole
remaining design, while there are 8 times as many men in the arm, torch
and flame as in the rest of the figure.
The right thumb is 5 feet longer than the left hand and the right arm, torch
and flame is 8 times the length of the body.

Isn't that crazy? 

This is so amazing, it would be great to find out who all these men are.
Shows a little what it means to STAND FOR OUR COUNTRY!
