Healing Field
This
September 11th will mark the 4th anniversary of the devastating attacks on
New York and Washington DC. To honor the occasion and the over 2,500
soldiers who have died in Afghanistan and Iraq since the war began, the
Cathedral City Rotary Club is taking leadership in an event called Healing
Field.
The event will take place the weekend of September 8 – 11 in Cathedral City
at the corners of Date Palm and Dinah Shore, adjacent to Big League Dreams
Sports Park. The goal of the Healing Field is to honor each and every
soldier who has given their life since September 11th with a flag. Beginning
at 9AM of Friday, September 8th, 3000 United States flags will be placed on
the corners. There will also be flags of the nations that have formed the
coalition countries that are serving alongside us.
Healing Field is not a demonstration for or against the war. It is a
memorial to those who have died and to their families.
While this is a Rotary project, it is a community event, and donations large
and small are needed to help defray the sizable costst. Please contact the
Cathedral City Rotary Club at 760-408-8420 to find out about donation levels
or to make a donation toward the event. There are also opportunities for
non-profit organizations, like Boy Scouts, school groups and others. Please
call for more information.
