At least 1500 large US flags will fly on 2 Acre Field Honoring all Military Men, Women, Veterans and their families.
Murfreesboro– The National Colonial Flag Foundation, creators of the Healing Field program, is honored to sanction the Healing Field® “Flags of Remembrance” event hosted and presented by the Exchange Clubs of Murfreesboro, TN As part of the national program this event will display 1,500 US flags waving proudly atop 8-foot poles. This moving temporary memorial will pay tribute to those heroes who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
With the help of the entire community, the grassy field on Medical Center next to Belk’s will be transformed into a sea of red, white and blue when hundreds of volunteers gather with their families to set up the flags for the 3 day memorial event from May 23 – 25, 2009. To volunteer call Don Wright 615-641-0121
The flags will be set on a grid in perfect rows and columns similar to Arlington National Cemetery and each flag will bear the name of a brave man or woman who has given their life, served in the military or is currently in harm’s way in the war on terror.
On the final day, May 25th, Memorial Day at sundown the memorial event will end with a patriotic ceremony, a prayer and the playing of “Taps”.
Flags are available for sponsorship for $30 each to be taken home and flown proudly to continue the tribute. Event updates, donations and corporate sponsorships are also being accepted online at www.healingfield.org/murfreesboro or at the time of the event. Flags can be dedicated in honor or memory of a loved one. The proceeds from the event will benefit the programs of the local Exchange Clubs and the Exchange Club Family Center.
