Healing Field - www.healingfield.org. The Healing Field program started out as a way to commemorate the lives of those lost to us on September 11, 2001. Since the first Healing Field display in 2002, hundreds of communities across America have hosted a Healing Field or Fields of Honor to raise money and awareness for a growing array of causes.
These special displays of fields of American flags have helped to honor the sacrifice of our service men and women, raise awareness for the tragedy of child abuse or domestic violence, honor veterans past and present, raise awareness for heart disease and cancer and more.
Our little town of Tempe Arizona has it's own 9/11 Memorial each year now. An American flag is planted for each one who died on that terrible day. This was last years tribute. Another was filmed today and I expect it to be posted soon after. It's a big deal here.
I went to the healing field in Tempe, az on 9/11/2010 to originaly do an extra credit assignment for my photo class. What I got was heartfull of sadness for the victims i didn't even know. What on eye opener it was to have visited this event. I have always felt bad for the victims and their families but you truly don't have a connection or feel the pain until you go to one of these events to remember to lost lives of that event. I pray for ALL the families of the victims of this event and hope that thier pain my lessen over time. God Bless America. We will NEVER forget.
I shot all the photos and video clips in Tempe, AZ at Tempe Town Lake. Every year they have a memorial flag display - each flag has a tag that shows the name of every person who died on 9/11 and where they died. Those with boots represent those that died in the Pentagon.
