What an amazing experience it was to witness such an event. There are really no words to describe the feelings that I had this day. To be able see this majestic bird being released back into the wild with the prayers of all us on his feathers. It is a Native American legend that says the Eagle was once human and he was given the responsibility to deliver the prays of the people to God. He said he had to fly to be able to do that so he was made into the great Eagle. Their legend says that during the night the Eagle collects the prayers of the people and at day he flies up to heaven to deliver the prayers to God. This wonderful release was to send our prayers with the 222nd as they prepare to deploy. There were many in attendance that joined in sending prayers. Such a great experience and I am so grateful to have been able to be a part of it. This was done at the Parowan Gap. If you have never been to this site, please visit it. Such a sacred place.
