9/11 Memorial

On Monday we went to the Utah Healing Field 9/11 Memorial for FHE.  It was an incredible experience.

The field was in Sandy, Utah and had a flag for each of the lives lost during the terrorist attacks ten years ago.    The flags were grouped by flight number and then those lost at the Pentagon and World Trade Center.  It was an amazing sight to see.  Each flag had a tag attached which shared information about a person who died  as a result of the attack. 

There were over 3,000 flags on display.  Nathan had heard during one of his training sessions a few years ago, that an employee of BMW had died during the attacks.  It was by pure luck that we found her flag.  It states that Linda was a manager of environmental compliance for BMW and “spearheaded the development of a hydrogen-fueled car.”

At one pathway between the flags there was a young Marine who had a lot of attention and patiently stood as many asked to take his picture with the flags.  I got a little teary-eyed during this for many reasons, but mostly I just couldn’t believe how young he is.

Finally, the City of Sandy had a monument unveiled earlier in the week.  The monument is called Hope Rising and was beautiful.

I am grateful that I had this opportunity.  It is my understanding that these Healing Fields are set up all over the United States.  I hope each of you gets the opportunity to see one.
