A Utah garbage collector who once served in the U.S. Marine Corps was caught on camera rescuing an American flag from the trash, to fold it and treat it with the honor it deserves.

Mom of two Brooke Cowley, 35, didn’t know Huntington sanitation worker Don Gardner before witnessing his patriotic act. But thinking the sight was a “good teaching moment” for her family, she soon got to know him.
