9/11 Ceremony, Madison Exchange Club 'Healing Fields' Slated

MADISON, CT — As the town will hold a 9/11 remembrance ceremony on the Madison Green, it does so as the Madison Exchange Club hosts Healing Fields.

Healing Fields is to honor those men and women lost 20 years ago on Sept. 11, 2001, but also to pay tribute to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to our country, the Exchange Club hosts a commemorative Healing Field on the Madison Green. During the commemorative event to reflect on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the event will be a display of over 250 3' x 5' flags. The sponsored flags will be on 8-foot poles and distanced in rows allowing people to walk among them and view the names and dedications of those represented by each flag.

The Healing Field is a reverent tribute which strives to unite the country in the service of others. Flags can be purchased to honor:

• Victims of 9/11
• Veterans
• Covid Heroes
• Child Abuse Prevention
• Fallen and Active Military
• First Responders
• Service Canines

All proceeds from the sale of flags will support the ongoing efforts of the Madison Exchange Club to support child abuse prevention, patriotism, the Madison Food Pantry and local scholarships.

Volunteers are also needed to help prepare displays, place flags, staff the viewing kiosk and/or assist at the ceremonies. Please contact us at madison.exchange@gmail.com or call 203-350-9244.

Located on the Green across from the First Congregational Church, the Healing Field will begin with opening ceremonies on Sept. 3 with the 9/11 commemorative service Saturday, Sept. 11.
