They Thought No One Was Watching Them, But One Teacher Caught This School Safety Patrol In The Act

Oct 15, 2018 by apost team

Isaac and Nate are two popular safety patrols who go to Coppergate Elementary School, located in Middleburg, Florida. They both take pride in the job they have to do every single day.

Neither one of them had any idea that one day, their dedicated actions would be recorded and posted for all of the world to see. What they did on a stormy day in Florida has made their family and community very proud. These two young boys didn’t let the rain stop them from going outside and protecting the America flag from harm, even though it meant getting drenched in the process.

Both 11-year-olds have been given the task of going outside and lowering the American flag when school is dismissed. A storm might stop other kids from completing this particular job, but it in no way stopped these two young men. They went outside and lowered the flag in the cold rain while someone secretly watched.

Kim Miskowski is the media specialist for Coppergate Elementary School. She was watching the two boys carefully fold the flag up, even as they were getting soaked to the bone by the pouring rain. Kim stated in her post that even after they had taken the flag down, they stood in the rain to complete all 13 folds.

Nate then carefully protected the flag as he walked back into the school to put away the flag until the next day. You can see in the pictures just how much it means to him.
Both of Nate’s parents were in the military, and he told the TV journalist that he and his friend went out in the pouring rain because that is how you show respect. At such a chaotic time in American politics, it is very refreshing to experience two very young boys demonstrate such solid patriotism toward their country. Both of the boys were praised for their devotion to duty and respect towards their country.

Since Kim uploaded the post it has been shared more than 1,400 times. Hundreds of Facebook users have left comments, praising the boys for displaying such an amazing respect for the American flag. The school posted how proud they are of Isaac and Nate. Everyone around the world is thrilled to see two young men take a real interest in their country.

These two young men are a symbol of how many Americans feel, that we should all cherish and care for the American flag. We would like to congratulate both boys on their fine characters. We hope that they can be a role model for kids everywhere! 

We feel exactly the same way as these boys do when it comes to the America flag. What do you think? Leave a note in the comments and pass this beautiful show of patriotism on to your family and friends!
