One of these was in Vacaville's downtown park where a flag for each of those killed was labeled and became a part of a vast sea of flags. On Saturday morning, 9/11, a group of citizens read the names of those who died. Some were from nearby Travis Air Force Base, others simply those who wished to remember. <http://www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004-Sept/HealingFields/Provia-22-R2-crp-crv-shrp.jpg> There was no bombast, no martial music, no fighting words. Just names and, sometimes, personal rememberences of those now dead. <http://www.splitsecondfilms.com//2004-Sept/HealingFields/Provia-01-R2-crp-crv-shrp.jpg> Breezes would rise, lifting the banners, then having passed the flags would settle, only to rise again with another zephyr and another until sometimes the whole field was shimmering as if lost souls were seeking to climb upwards to heaven. <http:///www.splitsecondfilms.com/2004-Sept/HealingFields/Provia-10-R1-crp-crv-shrp.jpg> Comments and suggestions invited and welcome.
