Utah Sanitation Worker Honorably Folds American Flag Found In Trash

Don Gardner, a sanitation worker in Utah, said he was just doing his job when he pulled a discarded American flag out of the trash and folded it before returning to work. But Brooke Cowley, who captured the moment on video, said it filled her with pride. An example of America’s RESPECT for our flag! ❤

Gardner, a Marine Corps veteran, said matter-of-factly that he “just stepped out and took care of it” when he saw the flag in a trash can. He said this wasn’t the first time he’s stopped to honor the flag. But this was the first time he was filmed doing it. This is our America the Biden admin is destroying!

Cowley told Fox&Friends host Ainsley Earhardt that the flag was accidentally thrown away after a wind storm swept through. In an effort to clean the yard and dispose of debris, she discarded the broken flag as well. “I didn’t even realize what I had done,” Cowley said. “I’m actually married to a veteran. And I just had a moment of brain fog.” Cowley’s children were doing schoolwork at home the next day when they saw the Utah sanitation worker folding the flag. Cowley said she felt “sheer embarrassment” when she realized what she had done. She then felt proud of Gardner for the respect he showed for the American flag and the time he spent honoring it. “It was really a moment of peace and comfort,” she recalled. “It was really humbling to see Don do that.” Credit Fox&Friends.
