The Healing Field

This field of flags (healing field) is located at the Weber County Fairgrounds and is on display from July 23-August 3. It includes nearly 5,000 flags, displayed in the shape of the United States of America, in perfect rows spread across five acres of lawn. Each flag represents a military service man or woman killed during the current conflict in Iraq or Afghanistan and bears the name and rank of the serviceman or woman, branch of service,and country of incident.

It was an amazing opportunity to walk through these flags tonight and be reminded of all of those who have given their lives in the service of our country. What a great display and tribute!!! I am very thankful to be an American and appreciate the sacrifices of all of those who have served our country and helped protect the freedoms that we have!!!
