Although the American flag is a symbol that everyone living in the United States respects, no one holds more respect for the flag than those who have courageously given up their personal lives to serve and protect. Those who are in the military or have previously served and are now veterans know exactly what this symbol stands for, so they’d never let anything happen to a flag on their watch. There’s a reason that there are Flag Protection Acts in place to protect this sacred symbol.

One man, a veteran named Mike King, knows how much value and importance the American flag holds. The veteran used to serve as a United States Marine and now has a job as a FedEx driver in the state of Maryland.

Although his job is demanding and time-consuming, King still made sure to do the right thing when he stumbled upon a fallen flag that needed his help. Thankfully, a video was recorded of the incident, and everyone can watch as King’s touching actions hail him a neighborhood hero.

Last year while delivering his packages for the day, King saw a flagpole in one of the yards that had fallen down due to the heavy wind that had permeated the neighborhood. The homeowners Gail and Eric Cook weren’t home to fix the flag, so King decided to take it upon himself to make things right with the symbol of freedom.

King gently picked up the flag and decided to bring it back onto their porch, folding it up neatly and making sure that it was safe from harm’s way. But what King could have never known is that the security camera that the Cooks had set in place was recording his heroic actions.

When the couple watched their security footage from that day, they thought it was so touching that they decided to post it to their personal social media accounts to share King’s actions with others. Loved ones of theirs that saw the post left heartwarming comments commending King on his actions. The Cooks were even so moved that they decided to inform FedEx about King’s good deed while on duty.

It’s amazing to see such a small gesture that means so much more in the big picture.
