Then
and Now
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.
From
Patriot Day to Veterans' Day to declaring your own day to honor those currently
serving in the armed forces, Healing Fields and Fields of Honor are making a difference
all across this land. More uses and applications for a flag field event are being
adopted each year.
Paul
Swenson, founder and creator saw the potential of the Healing
Field memorial events as a way to heal America.
That day on the first field in 2002 Paul committed his resources and energy to
forming a foundation that would assist other communities to experience the amazing
healing and hopeful effects of uniting for this great purpose.
