COMPLETED ON MARCH 22, 2004
Soldier's Coalition Healing Field
Sponsored by the Blue Star Mothers of America, Utah Chapter
March 18 - 22 Commemorating the one year anniversary of the war in Iraq.
|
To commemorate the one year anniversary since U.S.
forces entered Iraq, the Utah Blue Star Mothers set up a Healing Field
of American and foreign flags on the west end of Utah Valley State
College on Thursday evening to remember those who have died since the
attacks of 9/11. Members of the BYU and UVSC Army ROTC posted enough flags on
the grass to represent each life lost from the coalition forces since
the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001, and at
5:30 p.m. Thursday a combination of mothers, veterans, soldiers and
other supporters read the names of all 720 men and women. |

The flags will stay on UVSC's southwest field until
Monday at 4 p.m. Candace Chilcot, the president of the Utah chapter of
Blue Star Mothers, a national nonprofit organization for military
mothers, said she hopes members of the community will be able to come
by the field to pay their respects. Bring your cameras, it's a
beautiful site and a healing experience.
