For the 9^th straight year, a beautiful vista of red, white and blue will appear on Utica’s Memorial Parkway as The Good News Center hosts its annual Healing Field® display of 1,000 United States Flags.  Certainly, meaningful in the past years, this display takes on increased significance as our active-duty military, fallen servicemen and women, first responders, veterans, hometown heroes, and all other heroes in our lives are honored. The days leading up to and surrounding Veterans Day are the perfect time to remember and honor the men and women who have by their dedication become heroes in our lives.

Our unity as a people is expressed by the U.S. flag, which symbolizes our shared history, values and aspirations. As we have come together to overcome a pandemic that has ravaged the entire world, we have gained increased appreciation for heroes who have placed themselves in harm’s way to protect and serve us all.

Proceeds will benefit Sitrin’s Military Program. This programs helps veterans and service members returning from duty who are faced with physical, psychological, and emotional changes in their lives. Sitrin is committed to serving the rehabilitation and civilian reentry needs of injured veterans and service members, and has the expertise and environment to facilitate healing.
