The flags hanging at half-mast on Albany flagpoles Monday were meant to honor two members of the U.S. Capitol Police who lost their lives last week. They also express the sadness many of us feel for the blow America has suffered in the eyes of the world as well as our own.
Happy New Year (we hope)
As 2021 ends, flags lowered to half staff seem like a fitting symbol all around.
