"Each year, our healing field brings people from all walks of life to heal what hurts their hearts,” said Kevin Brady, executive director of the Greater Huntington Park & Recreation District in Huntington, W.Va. Fifteen years later, he and his sister have helped organize more than 800 healing fields, from Hawaii to Massachusetts, along with “fields of honor” for living war veterans. “The field comes to life when you’re out there walking in those rows and rows of flags,” he said.
