Last week, Utah woman saw her trash collector, a Marine Corps veteran, taking an American flag out of her trash can and folding it.

You don’t “accidentally “ throw out an American 🇺🇸 flag.

There is NO way you “accidentally” throw such a big flag.

She says that she throw it away by mistake!! No way man. If you pause this video. You will even see the flag pole in the trash too. And it's the same place has the flag was. ON THE TOP. There was no mistake here. Only that she got caught. Has a British vet. Thank you sir for your service. Brothers like you are remembered!

Surprised a wife of a vet threw it out. That isn't something that you do by accident. It isn't just a bath towel, the design stands out. Shows her true feelings towards the flag. That is her right but don't say I accidentally threw it out.

I am very proud of this. Thanks dad for showing us the meaning of your service

As a vet too, tears of pride for a true humble hero.

What a narcissist.

She "accidentally" 🙄 throws out a HUGE US flag, records the garbage man saving said flag doing what she should have, gives the video to the news so SHE can get exposure for the disrespect she caused.

Unbelievable.

As a former “sanitation engineer “, I applaud his actions.Patriotism doesn’t stop after the battles are over.✌️

The textbook definition of Integrity. Doing the right thing even when no one is watching (or you don’t know they are watching). Thank you

[rubegoldburg]

She ACCIDENTALLY threw away an American flag? BS !!!!

[luugo]

Well done, sir. This man does one of the most underappreciated jobs in our society and still has the personal pride and integrity to do what is right when no one is looking. I salute you, Sir.

Accidentally throw away our flag? Smfh

[JenJen]

How do you “accidentally “ throw out a flag? She should be embarrassed and ashamed of herself!

[svetlanasigalov]

Respect to the gentleman. That is how you treat American flag.

[ian]

It wasn't an accident that she threw it away ms reporter lady. She just said that.

[louisbecker]

I salute this fellow veteran!

Our Oath of Enlistment never expires. 🇺🇸👍

A hero in a regular American city setting the great example for others. Wow! 100% gratitude and admiration for this man!

I'm not American but to see him lovingly folding the star spangled banner brought a tear to my eye. Well Done Sir.

My mom gave me her dads veteran flag, grandpa Bruce died 60 yrs ago in a house fire. I never met him but this flag pulls at my heart often. I keep it folded and in a clear bag. I too know how to properly fold the USA flag. Salute to you soldier, semper fi
