This year the flags represented a sense of normalcy for me. The damage from April's tornado destroyed most of my town's business district, and it'll take months to rebuild at best. But seeing the flags there made me think not only of those who have served but of how people are continuing to live their lives, despite all the broken buildings. Even though rebuilding will be arduous, someone thought to continue a small but meaningful tradition of putting up those flags. Those flags could have been put on hold, but life can't, no matter how hard we may try.
