Many thanks to Twitter user “Zangl” for tipping us off to the “Parade of Flags” Veterans Day tradition in Paradise, Calif. that went forward despite this weekend’s horrific fire. Click on the image below to see the photo from Sunday:
@GPollowitz Do a twitchy article about this. The town may be in ruins but the peoples' spirit is as strong as it ever was. For context, every Veterans Day, the town of Paradise puts out flags all along Skyway (the main drag). 3 days after the fire, Veterans Day, flags go up pic.twitter.com/CUTCgKLB56

The #CampFire can’t stop Paradise’s patriotic spirit. On this Veterans Day volunteers continued their annual “Parade of Flags” by posting a line of flags through the rubble. It once numbered 1,100 flags. Today there are 30. #Paradise @realDonaldTrump #veteransday pic.twitter.com/4pPAQU0itI

An Oroville, CA local told us it’s tradition to line Skyway through Paradise with American Flags on Veterans Day. Whoever put them up this year wasn’t letting the #CampFire stand in their way. @ABC10 pic.twitter.com/XJ6PgctGXx
