The United States Honor Flag came through multiple cities in Utah Sept. 16, including Draper, Holladay, South Salt Lake and West Valley City. A special ceremony was held in West Valley City with the flag, paying tribute to Cody Brotherson, who died in the line of duty in 2016. (Photo courtesy Joe Randall, Fallen Hero Network)

 

The Honor Flag grew out of the remembrance of and respect for first responders of Sept. 11. Chris Heisler headed to Ground Zero from his home in Texas with two gifted flags—a U.S. flag and a Texas state flag. Along the way, he helped to organize the largest convoy of first responders in United Sates history. (Photo courtesy Joe Randall, Fallen Hero Network)
