Prescott Valley, AZ ~ 12th Annual Healing Field®
- This event has passed.
Now an anticipated tradition stretching over 12 years, Prescott Valley’s Healing Field® display draws area residents of Northern Arizona together in a memorable and inspiring tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks of September 11th of 2001. As the years pass, it becomes more and more important to remember those killed in what was then an unfathomable act of savagery and depredation. Innocent victims deserved to be remembered, and as the mature are reminded, we have the task of teaching our youth, many whom were not born at the time.
This display of 3,000 U.S. flags creates an atmosphere of optimism and healing, which must be experienced to be truly appreciated. All are invited to visit the display at the Prescott Valley Town Center, which will run from Saturday, September 9th through Friday, September 15th of 2023. Please support and visit Prescott Valley’s Healing Field® flag display, bring your families and friends. Reach out to a veteran, an elderly person or someone that can’t make it on their own, bring them with you. We know this experience will lift their hearts and brighten their day and yours by sharing this inspiring tribute.
This magnificent display of the Stars & Stripes is a gift to the community made possible through donations, sponsorships and the efforts of many dedicated volunteers.
