Sandy City is the home of the original Healing Field.
The memorial was sponsored by Colonial Flag.

Sandy City stepped up to the plate and offered their wide lawn area just south of the Sandy City Offices that stretches all the way to the South Towne Mall, approximately two city blocks in length.  The Sandy Area Chamber of Commerce helped with the volunteers needed for this massive undertaking. Salt Lake Community College did research and offered volunteers as well. Thousands of volunteers from the surrounding communities showed up to lend their support in setting up the field.

It was estimated that over 50,000 cars drove by in the first 24 hours. Fathers and mothers walked through with their children. Friends and family of those who died placed wreaths and flowers by many of the flagpoles. Soon I was hearing that it was the first time many had been able to cry since the attacks. Many felt a healing take place inside their hearts. You could not walk through the display without getting emotional.
