Police and Fire Agencies Invited to Participate in Annual 9-11 Memorial Healing Field on Sept 11, 2013

All Arizona Police and Fire departments are being asked to send an honor guard and/or an emergency vehicle to the Healing Field at Tempe Beach Park on September 11th for the 12th memorial anniversary of the attacks on our country by terrorists.

Remembrance ceremonies will begin at 5:40 am and 6:30pm on September 11th. Cars will be placed around the healing field with blue and red lights on to honor those who gave their life trying to save innocent civilians. Please contact Cynthia Hill, POSA (Police Officers of Scottsdale Association), or call 480-433-1101 to arrange for your department to be involved.

Honor guards are also encouraged to participate in both the morning and evening ceremonies on September 11th.  Names of fallen first responders will be read at the morning memorial service.

POSA is an annual sponsor of this 9-11 Memorial Healing Field  in Tempe along with the City of Tempe and Valley of the Sun Exchange Clubs Foundation and Tempe Exchange Club. It is the largest and longest running healing field in the Southwest with over 3000 full size American flags. It is a day that should always be remembered as a day terrorists tried to alter the psyche of a nation with fear. A day we never should forget. 

We are also very thankful to Valley Toyota Dealers who are annual sponsors for this event. 

UPDATE:

Volunteers are welcome to help set up on the morning of September 10th at 6:00am.  Your help is much appreciated and if last year’s response is anything to go by… we will be finished setting up in just a few hours of hard work.  If you can make it, just show up at Tempe Beach Park, bring work gloves and sun block.  We’ll have water for you.  We also need volunteers on the morning of the 15th to help break down Healing Field.
