About this Article

More than 100 volunteers spent three hours Wednesday planting 2,012 American flags and turning Rotary Hill into Naperville's "Healing Field of Honor" for the first time since 2009. “When you get to the top of the hill and look down the view is absolutely stunning,” said Healing Field Chairman David Wentz. “There are no words to describe it. The view is like standing at Arlington National Cemetery.”
