Sept Utah Trucking Assoc. Harley Ride

This ride went past the memorial for the miners and rescuers lost at
the Crandall Canyon Mine. The five headstones remember the miners and
the three benches remember the rescuers. The benches denote being of
service in my interperatation. One bench has the "greater love hath no
man than he lay down his life for his friends" scripture and another
quotes King Benjamin about when in the service of your fellow beings,
your are in the service of your God. It reminds me of the Wayne
Ashworth family cemetary bench and their service. The man in the ball
cap is Kim Robinson who just recieved a medal for support of the
guard. Robinson Transport paid health insurance and $1000 every month
for 7 employee's families called up from the guard to Iraq. He stood
with a handful of employers like GE and other national giants to be
honored by President Bush. It was the highest civilian honor bestowed
by the National Guard. Robinsons hauled 100s of thousands of tons from
this mine and Kim was a school buddy of the rescuer from Redmond.
