On a Healing Field for Veterans Day

We"re featuring a moment captured back in 2013 of Vietnam War veteran Jake Thorn sitting in a Healing Field display of 2,013 flags in Aurora, Illinois. According to the Reuters photographer who took this picture, Thorn was telling two visitors about his time in the military. Visiting a Healing Field is just one of the ways communities across the country come together for Veterans Day to honor the men and women who have served in the armed forces.
