Cole Dotson was passing by a local school last Sunday when he noticed that an American flag had fallen to the ground. Apparently Dotson did not hesitate and immediately pulled over and lifted the flag from the ground.
Fortunately, Cole's grandmother works for the school and came to help raise the flag to its proper position, taking a picture to capture the patriotic moment.
Cole's mother was quite proud and wrote, "The flag fell to the ground, he saw it, stopped and held it until someone from school could come and put it back up."
“Thank you all for the support! I didn’t intend to get recognized for what I did. But I am sure glad to see the support and respect for the flag. I love this flag and this country. God bless America,” Cole wrote to his supporters.
At the end of the day, we must all remember that it doesn't matter what your occupation is, where you live, or how old you are, the American flag is bigger than anything or anyone in this country. It is our job as American citizens to respect and uphold the integrity of what the flag means and Cole demonstrated that to all of us.
Cole plans to join the military this summer.
Yeesssss!!!
Off the Wall Ping!

“All this for a damn flag.”
Outstanding Sir, Job well done.
Right on...Feel good story of the day.
What the hell are you talking about? That FLAG represents our people who have fought and died for the freedoms your dumb ass is enjoying...if you can’t respect that then LEAVE THIS COUNTRY!!!
It’s a Michelle Obama quote.
One of the finer quotes emanating from one of the orifices of your First Lady.
A few years ago, I was going into a local government indoctrination center and stepped on a small piece of fabric on the way in. I realized it was part of the school’s American flag.
It had been neglected for so long that it shredded. I picked it up and took it home for proper disposal.
The next day, I sent an e-mail to the Principal reminding him of his duty to instill patriotism in the children under his supposed care.
To allow a flag, on a public building to become so neglected is malfeasance of duty.
He emailed back and asked me if he had to go to Congress to get a flag.
Did I mention that this moron was the Principal of a high school?
I replied that for about $26 he can get an American made flag at Wal-Mart or just about any hardware store.
This case sounds like a mechanical or knot failure and the flag is in good repair.
Well done young man!
I think you owe Crazy Ivan a quick apology and a FReeper handshake.
Michelle Obama was seen to have uttered that contemptible quote.
He was making fun of Moochelle Obama.....
The way it was put sounded like he said it...when you remark on something like that, unless you want the hounds of hell on your butt, it would be very wise to address that...
Sorry...
No harm, no foul.
The remark that got your knickers in a twist was in quotations...
That should have been your first clue...it wasn’t his remark...
And that jerk is a Principal of a high school, little wonder our education system is in the shape it's in.
It would’ve been clearer if he’d put her name behind it...
Was he serious or just being a smartazz?????
Great job, Cole.......
