Many made healing field happen

Posted October 07, 2011 12:00 am

To all the volunteers who worked so hard to make our 9-11 Memorial Healing Field in Carpenter Park a huge success, thank you. To all the sponsors both financial and in kind that supported this event, thank you. To the Village of Carpentersville police, fire and public works, thank you. To the 87 people that donated blood on Sept. 11, thank you.

For the people that donated more than 1,200 used cellphones, thank you. And for the thousands of visitors who walked in the field of flags, I hope you could feel the sheer enormity of the loss of 3,000 Americans on that terrible day 10 years ago.

It was an honor to work with and meet so many great Americans as we all paid tribute to those we lost. We must always remember. We must never forget.
