The Healing Field – A Tribute to America’s Heroes

Now through August 2nd, 5,000 flags will be setup at the Weber County Fairgrounds, the largest tribute to the troops and America’s heroes.

“Visitors and volunteers from the surrounding communities will experience an amazing display of patriotism acres of large U.S. flags atop 8ft poles in perfect rows on a field of green.

This living display of heroism will fly as a temporary patriotic tribute to the strength and unity of Americans, and will honor all Veterans who served our nation to preserve our security and freedom.

Please join us and walk this Healing Field. This is the perfect opportunity for all of us to unite as a community and to remember and honor our nation's heroes.”

“The memorial, called the Healing Field of Honor, will be on display until Aug. 2 at the soccer fields adjacent to the Weber County Fairgrounds at 1000 N. 1200 West for the public to visit.

The Wall, a traveling memorial replica of the Vietnam War Memorial, also will be at the fairgrounds beginning Wednesday.

At noon and 4 p.m. daily from Thursday until Aug. 2, classes will be offered for children so they can learn about the flag, proper flag etiquette and the military. Opening ceremonies will begin at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at the field.”
