I visited the Healing Field at Tempe Beach Park today to reflect on the 12th anniversary of the terror attacks. Each of the nearly 3,000 American flags represents a victim. It’s an emotional experience to walk amid the rows of flags. Each has a card attached with the name of the victim and notes on the person’s life, as well as where the person died.
Healing Field is hosted by the Exchange Club of Tempe and the city of Tempe.
