Utah Army vet who lost his legs in Iraq deployed one of the largest American flags in the country over the Wasatch Front.
NORTH OGDEN, Utah — A local service member who was wounded while serving in the U.S. Army, deployed ‘The Major’, one of the countries largest American flags over the Wasatch Front this weekend.
“He’s a hero,” said Tiffany Vendela, Travis’ wife. “The things he has to go through and the things that he’s done for this country, but the daily sacrifices that he makes because of pain or the things that he can’t do normal.” When the horses arrived at the overlook, Vendela was helped onto a stretcher, where he was lowered by personnel down to a platform area. That is where Travis awaited the moment for his reveal of ‘The Major’, a flag that stretches across the canyon.
For Vendela and his family, the horseback trip and seeing the flag unfurl was more than just about the experience to remember his time served; this was a memorable morning for Travis, his wife and his three children.
