Patriotism and integrity is far too often hard to find these days.This Oregon trash collector taught a lesson that many need to hear by taking the time to care for 'Old Glory'.

Jeremy Fischer recently spotted something he said was a lot more important than a piece of trash -- an American flag blown off its pole. So he carefully folded the flag back up in a Military fashion and placed it on a post.

This type of attention to the care of our national icon gives a great example of how each and every one of us should look out for whats best for our neighbors, communities, and our country.
Jeremy says he'd do it again just like he learned in Boy Scouts. But just wants you to know, this wasn't about the attention.
"Honestly, if I had my way I wouldn't be on TV," Fischer said.
