Oak Brook honors 9/11 victims with Healing Field: 'Each of these flags is representing somebody'
The cards, each with a name and short biography, attached to the U.S. flags in the Healing Field flag display spoke loudly, without uttering a word.
The flags, one for each of the 2,976 Americans who were killed in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, were staked into the ground in perfect rows and columns Thursday through Monday along the north side of Oak Brook Road, just east of the Oak Brook Public Library. Visitors were able to walk among them and remember the tragedy that shook the nation.
