Fire Ride- Healing Field

We headed over to Sandy City to where they had the Healing Field



They had two fields full of flags.
Each one was for a life lost in 9-11


The bikes lined over a city block square 3 bikes deep

Each flag had a name card attached to it that listed info about each victim










The front of the line
Adorable little girl who was a sign spinner

Our law enforcement escorts
Chad Ledford and Tatton




They had all kinds of speakers
Opening prayer
Dedication
They also had a statue that was made in remembrance and they did the unveiling
Jim and Carol Gent
Life Flight flyover



Jim Gent and his wife Carol again
The next few picts is ONE length of the block






These balloons were also released.
Each one also was for a life lost







Lunch was included in the registration
However the people delivering the lunch was over 45 min late!
So everyone was just standing around waiting.

We decided to just walk 1/2 a block up the road to Chik fil A
IT WAS PACKED.
BUT I gotta say I am SO IMPRESSED with them!
When we got there the line was out the door and the drive thru was packed.
Inside was packed also.
A lot of the other people there had the same idea.
We waited in line maybe 5 min was all before they took our order.
They were SO fast and our orders were correct!



The Healing Field was amazing.
It was so humbling but at the same time filled you with pride for the USA
