2011 West Michigan Healing Field®




On Sept. 9 - 13 the slopes of Cannonsburg will be graced by 3,200 flags for the West Michigan Healing Field 9/11 Memorial. The display will commemorate the 10th anniversary of those who passed on September 11, 2001. You, your family and friends are invited to be part of this momentous occasion. For more information, please visit the West Michigan Healing Field website at www.healingfield.org

The Rockford Area Community Endowment will be the host to a 2011 West Michigan Healing Field® 9/11 flag memorial where you will behold a beautiful display of 3,200 U.S. flags.
These 3′X5′ flags will stand 8′ tall in perfect rows. This living display of heroism will fly as a temporary patriotic tribute to the strength and unity of Americans, and will commemorate the 10 year anniversary of all those who died September 11, 2001.
