HealingField.jpgIn Naperville Illinois residents have designed a field of flags to honor veterans, and donations from purchasing the flags will aid families getting treatment at a local facility.

Today, Veteran’s Day, is a good day to pray for peace for the world. Today is a day many experience in grief. Today is a day to pray for healing.

The Healing Field is a fundraiser organized by the Exchange Club of Naperville, along with the Naperville Park District. Money raised by the sale of flags and tags will benefit Fisher House — an extended stay facility being built for families of veterans getting treatment at the Hines VA Hospital. Flags can be purchased for $30 and flags with an honor tag for $35.
