Paul Swenson, Founder of the Colonial Flag Foundation, created the concept of the Healing Field in 2002 for the first anniversary of Sept. 11. Swenson pictured here in front of the Naperville Municipal Band, attended the Veterans Day Ceremony in Naperville at which time he said veterans in spire him "to be a better father, husband and citizen." |

THANK YOU,
VOLUNTEERS!
Vistors to the Healing Field of Honor had the opportunity
to view the exhibit from the observation decks of the Moser
Tower with 72 carillon bells.
Thanks to our generous supporters, all proceeds from the sale of American flags with commemorative tags and the print will benefit a Fisher House at Hines VA
Hospital in Maywood.
Thanks again to all!
