September 8th, 2011 on 8:00 amI wanted to say thank you so very much for the healing field. I am originally from New York. I lost a lot of friends in the towers that day. To have the field to go to every year to honor my friends means so very much to me. My best friend FDNY FF Joseph Agnello left me that day and I go every year to buy his flag and give it to some one special. Thank you again.

September 11th, 2011 on 4:42 amI had the dubious honor of being @ ground zero before the last framed walls fell. That in itself was heart stopping but the most moving thing I remember as I rode the bus to ground zero were all the filthy ragged American flags still flying on the streets and on each corner. That was when it really hit me. America had been attacked.

What a stirring, fitting tribute to the thousands of heroes who died on that day that shall never be forgotten. The Healing Field touched me so deeply, that I put together a video that has been uploaded to Squeegi.com. THe video is called “Healing Field Memorial.”
Thank you for providing this heart-felt memorial!
