Building unity one community at a time. Host a Healing Field® or Field of Honor® flag display Read Paul’s story.
Colonial Flag Foundation was organized in 2003 shortly after the first Healing Field® display was orchestrated by Paul Swenson, president of Colonial Flag in Sandy, Utah. That first event was organized as a way to visualize the sheer enormity of human loss that occurred in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. But, as hundreds of volunteers gathered to help, it soon became evident that something much more was emerging. It became a personal gesture of support, a tangible expression of mourning, and a very real healing experience. Colonial Flag Foundation provides the resources and support to help you gain exposure and raise funds for your cause. By associating with our nationally-recognized, respected brand, and following our program, you will enjoy a successful event, reach your goals and make a positive impact in your community.
Here is a shout-out for the 9-11 Village of Oak Brook IL Healing Field® courtesty of Greg Ahm. One of the very first Healing Fields® that has been hosted for two decades by True Patriots Care with the help of many community sponsors and volunteers including the Oak Brook Police Department.

There’s something truly special about seeing our flags standing proudly across the beautiful fields. 🇺🇸
A simple reminder of the freedom, history, and values they represent. ❤️🤍💙 #911
Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage, sacrifice, and resilience that emerged in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
We will never forget those who were taken, the heroes who answered the call, and the families whose lives were forever changed.
May we always remember. :us:

Today, we gathered at Sandy City Hall for a special 9/11 Healing Field ceremony. This field holds a unique and powerful meaning, as every flag represents one of the innocent lives lost on September 11.
We are incredibly proud to have been part of the Healing Fields® tradition for more than 20 years. Over the years, we have witnessed how these fields bring communities together, creating a powerful sense of unity, remembrance, and connection for everyone who has the opportunity to experience them.
What was meant to divide us only brought us closer together. 🇺🇸
Never Forget. God Bless America.
Colonial Flag Foundation is responsible for bringing Healing Field® memorials to communities across the country.
Since the beginning, our mission has been simple: to use the American flag to remember, honor, and bring people together.
Each Healing Field® is more than a field of flags. Every flag represents a life, a family, and a story that should never be forgotten.
For a generation that remembers September 11 firsthand, these fields are a place to reflect. For younger generations, they are a way to understand the lives, courage, and sacrifice behind the history they have only heard about.
We remember those we lost.
We honor those who served.
And we remind ourselves of what unites us as Americans.
Because we will never forget.

We will never forget.
Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom is never free, and that behind every flag are stories of courage, service, and lives dedicated to something greater than themselves.
At Colonial Flag Foundation, our mission is to honor and remember those who have served, those who continue to serve, and those who never made it home. Through flags and memorial displays across our communities, we strive to keep their stories alive and ensure that their sacrifice is never forgotten.
Every flag raised is a reminder.
Every name remembered is a legacy preserved.
Every moment of gratitude is a way of saying: we remember.
Today, we remember the fallen Marines who made the ultimate sacrifice.
