Every year at Tempe Town Lake they do what's called the "Healing Field" on 9/11 to honor the victims of 9/11. We always went when we lived close & decided we should make it a yearly thing. This was the first year our boys could begin to grasp the events of that day. (Don't be surprised if they tell you "the sad story") It's really a very beautiful tribute. Here are a few pictures.
They have a tag on each flag with the name of the person it represents as well as any info they know about them. There are also a few other markers. Children are marked by a stuffed teddy bear, First Responders have yellow ribbons, Flight Crew have blue ribbons & Military Personnel & Veterans are marked with a pair of military boots.
My boys
It's a pretty impressive sight to see the almost 3000 flags.
They had some emergency vehicles there & the boys were excited to see them & take some pictures.
Jameson peeked inside this ambulance. Let's hope this is as close as he ever gets to one.
