At Arlington National Cemetery (and countless others this weekend), each veteran's grave will be decorated with a small American flag. The view is breathtaking, rows and rows of marble headstones with flags beside each of them:
Each stone represents one life. Each flag represents an appreciation of each life.
If we are honest, we know that there are similar fields of markers in our spiritual lives. Looking back on our spiritual journey, we can see several important people and events along the way. Do we ever take the time to think back on those times and remember? What would our faith be like if we did?
