I remember the Field very well, I live just a few miles from where it was so on the 11 was my first day visiting it, my mom and I were able to get my disabled father out to see the flags as well. After that I stopped by the Field everyday after school and on the weekend till the end. I drove by the Field the Sunday after it was done and just like that they was gone, the last few workers were fininshing their jobs. I wish every once in a while that I could go back to the Field... just once more.
