CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -
Naperville's Rotary Hill has been transformed into a living memorial for our nation's troops.
More than 100 volunteers spent three hours planting 2,012 American flags and turning Rotary Hill into Naperville's "healing field of honor."
Organizers say it's a way for community members to express patriotism and gratitude for troops and it also raises money to support traumatic brain injury research.
The exhibit opens November 8th and will stay up for public view through Tuesday, November 13th.
