September 11th Display in Sandy, Utah

Every year Sandy, Utah does a September 11th display honoring all of the victims of September 11th.  They have a flag for each individual killed.  It covers a huge area and is amazing to look at.  Each flag has a tag that tells about a particular victim.  This year it was very windy, but that made it even more amazing to look at.
