Surveillance footage from outside a home in Tennessee is going viral for an unexpected reason after a stranger approached a family’s front door to return an American flag.

在田纳西州,一陌生男子来到某户人家的前门来归还一面美国国旗,这一幕被住宅外的监控录像拍了下来,之后因一意料之外的原因该视频在网上走红。

Erin Fezell took to her Facebook page to share the video of a man who recovered her family’s flag after winds had blown it off of the pole. In the footage he is seen walking up to her front door with the flag perfectly folded in hand. But he doesn’t stop there in his effort to return it in a proper manner. Instead he makes sure not to let it touch the ground again by pulling over a chair and setting them both up right in front of the door.

艾琳·菲泽尔(Erin Fezell)在其脸书页面上分享了这段视频,视频显示她家旗杆上的国旗在被风吹落之后,这名男子又将国旗找了回来。视频中,他将国旗正确叠好后拿在手中,一路走至她家前门。但是他没这样就草草将国旗还回去。相反,为了确保这面国旗不再掉到地上,他拉来一把椅子,将国旗置于椅子之上放在门前。



“This is amazing makes my heart so happy to see people still care about the flag and what it stands for” one person wrote. Another said “So much good still in this world.”

一位网友写道,“这真是令人赞叹,我非常高兴能够看到人们仍然如此关心国旗和它所代表的含义。“另一位网友写道,“世界上还是存在很多美好的。”

Others are simply happy that for once during the holiday season this surveillance footage wasn’t capturing a porch package poacher.

其他人则只是为假期期间终于有一次监控录像没有捕捉到门廊包裹被盗画面而感到高兴。

Years ago I worked at a new car dealer. (not as a salesman) There was an old surly mechanic there who didn't have much of a kind word to say to many and he was usually pretty crass. Turned out he was a former US Marine and saw service in the Vietnam War. Anyway I noticed in an old building on the lot a large american flag wadded-up in the corner. I went to go find a box to put it in because I didn't like it seeing it like that. When I went and asked this mechanic if I could have the big box laying in his work area he said something crude and I responded that I had found a wadded-up flag and I wanted to fold it and store it properly. He got serious and said "Lets go look at it." He noticed it was tattered and torn and then said he would take it to the local VFW and they would take care of disposing of it with dignity. But he made me help him fold it the correct way before he walked it over to his truck and carefully placed it in the back seat. It changed my opinion of the man. He and I had a different relationship after that.

数年前,我在一家新开张的汽车经销商那工作(不是做销售员)。在那里,有一个脾气暴躁的老技工,和许多人都没有好话,通常情况下他都很粗鲁。后来我们才知道他曾在美国的海军陆战队服役,并亲眼见证经历了越南战争。我在一幢老旧的建筑物中发现了一面大幅的美国国旗,被人卷成一团扔在角落里。我找了一个盒子把它放了进去,因为我不想看到国旗遭到这样的对待。我找到那位技工,问是否可以把大箱子安放在他的工作区域,他粗鲁地回了几句,我回说我找到了一面被人揉成团的国旗,我想把它叠好,好好存放起来。他突然一脸严肃地说道,“带我去看看。”他发现这面国旗已经被撕得破破烂烂,说他会将国旗带到当地的老兵退伍中心,他们会妥善处理这面国旗的。但他叫我帮他按照正确的方式把国旗叠好,之后他走向她的货车,小心翼翼的把它放在了车后座上。这件事改变了我对他的看法。从此以后,他和我的关系也发生了变化。

I'm 40 lived in CA most of my life. I want to move to a place I don't care what state but a place where all my neighbors are like this! Good job man!

我今年40岁,几乎一直在加拿大生活。我想要搬家,我不在乎是搬到哪个州,但我希望我的邻居都能像视频中的那个男子一样!做得好,兄弟!

As a teacher I try to instill in my students that standing for the national anthem and pledge of allegiance does not mean that you agree with the president government or even your neighbors. Saluting the flag and standing for the national anthem simply shows that you like being in America. You are showing your respect and affection for a country that gives you freedom.

作为老师,我努力向学生们灌输这样的理念,即拥护国歌和宣誓效忠并不意味着你要与总统,政府甚至你的邻居保持一致。致敬国旗拥护国歌只不过表明你是美国人,你喜欢美国这个国度。你是在向赋予你自由的祖国表达尊敬和热爱之情。

A little respect goes a long long way. Good for him.

(对国旗的)尊敬会使人走得更远。他做得很棒。

His picture should replace the word Character in the Webster's Dictionary.

韦氏字典应该用他的照片来定义什么叫品格。
