Fed-Ex driver stops to fold American flag
The flag pole had blown down and the sight of the flag on the ground bothered the driver. He stopped his truck, got out, folded the flag and respectfully placed in on the porch. All captured by security cameras. Turns out the driver is ex-Marine.

Sad to say, I don't know how to fold a flag properly. But, making sure a flag is never left on the ground is important.
That guy rocks! the home owner giving the guy props also rocks. Feel good story of the day.
They teach this in Boy Scouts.
Two boy scouts stretch out the flag like a sheet.
Bring the two corners of the width together so the length is halved.
It must be perfectly point to point or you'll have trouble later on.
Do that again for the longest possible arrangement of folds.
Pull it tight like a trampoline.
The stars show on one end, strips most of the length.
The guy on the side with the stripes folds a corner into a tight triangle.
Tight as possible.
The guy holding the end with the stars keeps it taught.
Tight, tight, tight, that is the key to successful military style flag folding .
The guy holding the stripes end flips his folded triangle into another triangle.
Flip, flip, flip, each triangle carefully flipped to be tight as possible.
Because the final flip covers the whole thing in blue filed with white stars and if you aren't super tight with the folding then it comes out sloppy. AND THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE!!!!111!!!!111!!111!!1
One person doing it is harder.
The dudes who do this at funerals pride themselves on their tight triangular packages suitable for presentation and framing. If you unfolded it, you'd never get it back that perfectly tight again.
Good man.
Bet he voted Trump.
I was just about to type - we learned that in Scouting. Good ol' days and all. We were taught to keep it taut.
