I just happened to be driving by on the corner of Center and Geneva when they were getting ready to bring the body of the fallen Utah soldier through. His body was flown into Provo airport, which made it neat for us locals. Earlier while at the school helping with Field Day outside we all stopped when 3 black Army Helicopters flew overhead. Those are neat to see! Center Street was lined with flags, a large flag draped over head by makeshift lifts. There were lots of people standing alongside to watch him pass and pay respects, most in red, white and blue or Army fatigues. I stopped with P & Z and we got out, someone gave them little flags to wave, and it was a real neat experience. His parents drove by, I waved at them. The mom was crying and mouthed, "Thank you" to me.
