MICHIGAN — It's got to be a tough job being a delivery driver for Amazon. You have to work long hours, navigate crowded streets, dodge aggressive dogs, deal with needy chickens, haul heavy packages and hunt for a porta potty anytime nature calls.
So it's impressive when a driver goes above and beyond for customers. And it's even more impressive when they go above and beyond for the American flag, as in this video.
According to the video description, the footage comes from a Ring doorbell in Saginaw, Michigan. The driver seemed to be in survival mode as he approached the house, so the fluttering flag caught him off guard.
Some people in that situation might've been irritated and batted the flag away from their face. Others might not have reacted at all. But this driver took the time to show respect.
"Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians have fought to preserve our liberty," the caption states. "We need more reminders of this service that we all take for granted."
We probably all can learn a thing or two about respect from this awesome Amazon driver.
