She pulled over to take a picture and then posted it on her Facebook page. This is what she wrote.

"First day of school at Vacaville High and I drive by and see the kids have put American Flags on their trucks and Jeeps. So I pulled over to get a photo.

There is no breeze in site and just as I get ready to snap the picture the wind picks up and all these flags start to dance. It was magical.

I am so proud of these kids who are supporting their classmate whose father is the fallen CHP Officer who was killed in last weeks horrible car accident."

Officer Kirk Greiss , 46, was conducting a traffic stop on the shoulder of the interstate when a pickup truck veered over and plowed right into them, according to the CHP Golden Gate Division. The officer and man he had pulled over were both killed in the accident.
