Healing Fields

On Saturday I took the kids to the Healing Field. This is an annual event to raise awareness of child abuse. There were 1400 American flags posted at the Veterans Memorial Park, each flag represented a child who has died at the hands of abuse. It was a very sobering event. There were bagpipers playing "Amazing Grace" as 41 flags were posted for the children who died in Utah over the past 3 years.

There were over 50 bikers from BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) who rode into the park. One of the bikers is my boss at work.

This event really put it into perspective for me about how real child abuse is and it happens way too much! There is no excuse for child abuse!
