Healing Field

Wednesday November 11, 2009

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.

Put him first in all that you do and he will protect and guide you and bring you home. In the event that you find that a loved one has gone on toheaven to be with the lord no that his or her prayers have been answered. AMEN
