American Flag Falls, And FedEx Driver Pulls Over, Picks It Up And Folds It!
This story is just heartwarming.
At a time when the country feels so divided, this is just the kind of news that can restore your faith in humanity. In an act that embodies love of country, and respect for the flag, a FedEx driver is gaining national attention.
Friday’s strong winds in the Northeast had lines down, branches in the street, grills moved across decks, and in Freehold, NJ, a flag pole toppled. This did not go unnoticed by a FedEx driver in the area.
According to News 12 New Jersey, not only did this driver pull over to pick up the fallen flag. he folded it properly…and put it down in a safe place. The owner of the house where the flag had fallen, Rick Guerino, said he got an alert of his phone from his home surveillance camera. He witnessed the Federal Express driver on his porch and couldn’t understand what he was doing, because no package was expected, and had no idea his flag pole went down in the high winds. When he realized the driver what the driver was doing, he was taken aback.
Guerinio told the local news outlet, News 12 New Jersey, “he really respected the flag, and you don’t see that too often…That’s what hits here.”
FedEx still hasn’t been able to identify the driver, but told the station, ““We commend the actions of this service provider employee, who went above and beyond by carefully and respectfully securing the flag on the homeowner’s behalf.”
