Really? I thought it was a common occurrence to accidentally get a ladder out of your garage, and then accidentally set it up onto the side of your house, and then accidentally climb it and accidentally unclip the flag, and accidentally bring it down the ladder, and accidentally toss it into the top of your garbage bin after your veteran husband leaves so he can't see you accidentally toss it a couple minutes before the garbage man gets there.
She says that she throw it away by mistake!! No way man. If you pause this video. You will even see the flag pole in the trash too. And it's the same place has the flag was. ON THE TOP. There was no mistake here. Only that she got caught. Has a British vet. Thank you sir for your service. Brothers like you are remembered!
My father was a vet and died in 2013, my mom recently past and my dads flag was in the garage old from years of use....it's now at my home and used on special days and will not be thrown away!!!
Yeah that wasn't a mistake. A flag is made out of fabric just like clothes and it's people business if they want to throw it out. This burning flag ritual just reminds me of how veganism is controlling. No one needs to follow the proper ritual to get rid of a flag. I think burning a flag is worse.
I know she claims her husband or family is military. I’m not in the military only my cousin was and I know that it’s supposed to be folded properly and burned entirely. I suppose the only question would be what to do if you’re in an area that doesn’t allow for burning like that.

Surprised a wife of a vet threw it out. That isn't something that you do by accident. It isn't just a bath towel, the design stands out. Shows her true feelings towards the flag. That is her right but don't say I accidentally threw it out.
No it's not her right or anybody's right. To disrespect our Flag. If she did not want it. There are proper ways to retire it. She being a vets wife, should know that.
You're misinterpreting "accidentally". She obviously means she wasn't thinking about it & didn't realize she wasn't supposed to put it in the trash. She's saying she didn't deliberately & consciously intend to disrespect the flag; it was unintentional disrespect, i.e. accidental.

@@agentsbigassforehead The flag is something you should respect. It's a basic thing that even a kid knows! If you hate this nation so much, why don't you go to somewhere else?
It's not that hard to imagine. I just replaced my own flag pole this morning. The clasp at the top that holds the flag broke. The easiest way to fix it was to replace the whole pole and mount since it's a number of years old anyway. It's also not hard to imagine they bought a new flag to go with the new pole. Perhaps you should "figure it out"? BTW, I'm Canadian.....you guys aren't the only patriotic citizens of the world 😉

The American Flag is to be retired through an honorable ceremony. The Boy Scouts do regular ceremonies and so do many other military/veteran organizations.
@@TheLuuman Exactly man that's what I'm saying, people see it as a symbol of our country and I get that, but people do realize that most of us spend 40+ hours a week at work. No one's got time to spend half an hour to an hour burning a flag for no reason. They're only burning it because it's trash at that point, and there's a much quicker way to dispose of trash... the trash can.
I really hope you are joking, it is clear you never served away from your precious little family, you do not have the guts to do so, however I did serve to protect your right to run your mouth, karma comes back around, and you will say it to the wrong person.

@@thecia9498 If somebody doesn’t want to treat the flag with respect and retire it properly when the time comes, they shouldn’t purchase and display it, either. Easy.
Probably threw it away cause it was dirty and she is too lazy to clean it. Started recording cause she was offended a guy was going through her trash, than realized she is the villain in this story.
She want to show the news the respect of the garbage man for the flag, but at same time she for for got that she is showing her disrespect towards the flag
It's really not that embarrasing. People place too much value on a simple flag. And no, people haven't fought and died for the flag. They fought and died for the country. The flag and country is a different thing. Besides, America was founded on cruelty and horrible acts so I personally dont care much. I dont dislike our flag, I just dont care about it. And she doesnt have to either.
She should be ashamed of herself. She knew exactly what she was doing when she without any regard for those that died to protect us and the flag tossed it in the garbage. Such an insult to anyone serving, has served or paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives so that disrespectful woman could live the American dream and be free. My utmost thanks goes out to the Marine vet for serving this great country.
Who would throw away an American flag on purpose, then film the trash man removing it and respectfully folding it, and then post the video on social media? I believe she did make an honest mistake.
@@justinw8512 Always one in every crowd that sees a deliberate act of disrespect as an innocent mistake. Just a coincidence an American flag was placed in the garbage can so it could be seen under the lid told me the entire story.

I am my grandpa and grandma's primary caregiver and my one grandpa is a WW2 vet and my other is a Korean war vet. Our government in the last 60 years have gotten us in to unnecessary wars but our veterans should not be the ones we take our frustration out on, they should be honored today tomorrow and as long as that flag is still waving.
She DID NOT accidentally throw that flag out! He is our hero❤❤. These are our veterans that deserve respect and this country’s support, remember this when you see a veteran in need. SEMPER FI!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Why is she tossing the flag in the garbage, as if it were garbage, in the first place. Then to hear her say that she is married to a vet? Doesn't make sense. Clearly it was visibly in plain sight.
@@rogerszmodis you can say the same thing about everything. like a shirt your grandpa gave to you before he passed away. aint nothing much special about it just toss it in the trash
@@rogerszmodis It’s not ‘just a piece of cloth’ the same way that your family are ‘just billions of cells accumulated as such.’ It’s the flag, should be treated, honored, and respected correctly. There are several ways to properly dispose of a flag. Either a burning ceremony done correctly, or more often than not there are organizations who take them to repair or recycle them to create new ones. Thousands have over the last two hundred and such years for the promised and still carries on today. It is a true patriotic symbol, and should never be disregarded as ‘just a piece of cloth.’
Love the fact she comes forward with her embarrassing act. Even produces it and turns into a lesson to others. Takes courage. Thank you sir for your service and your wonder act !!❤🙏🏼🌻

I can't figure out how an "accident" like that could possibly play out in reality. She lacks the courage to admit her intention & she apparently lacks respect for her own husband's service.
You *NEVER* throw out a flag. Per the United States Flag Code, when an American flag is no longer fit for display, it should be disposed of in a dignified manner. There are dozens of places that take damaged flags: military organizations, veteran organizations, police stations, city halls, cemeteries.
@@boataxe4605 Sorry to reply to an old comment but this has always thrown me off. If you shouldn't fly a flag that is no longer fit to fly and you replace it, what do you then do with your old flag? I get the flag code says to burn it but I don't think people would be too happy about someone doing that either. Does everyone just collect their old flags and store them away? What are other dignified ways to dispose of the flag?
As a Army combat veteran I salude this brother in arms. I will do the same if I have too. People don’t realize what we go through while serving the country. Many of us never come back, or we loose many friends in combat. I was lucky to been born in this country.
When I was in the scouts we had flag retirement ceremony's. It's a very respectful, honorable and emotional event. Don't ever throw the flag away. Donate it to someone who will take care of it properly.
Im not a vet, I am a garbage man and have been for 22 years now and it infuriates me to see our beloved flag thrown away. On occasion if I find one in the landfill I will bring it back to my yard and put it in a spot to be disposed of properly.
It's not "our" beloved flag: It's a piece of fabric that holds no value unless you let it. Not everyone has a reason to honor a country through a flag, or a reason to honor the country in general
@@Pugkin5405If you don't care about flags or countries or the symbolism they invoke that's fine. My question is why you feel a compelling need to denigrate the feelings of those who do care. Why say anything? I'm sure there are things you care about that others may not, yet they don't get upset about it. Unless you are just a troll trying to upset people, in which case no one cares about your opinion.

@@agentsbigassforehead The flag is something you should respect. It's a basic thing that even a kid knows! If you hate this nation so much, why don't you go to somewhere else?
Or she could have burned it
@@minhdo1728 brainwashed idiot
She accidently threw away the flagpole as well.
The pole isn't as important as the actual flag
Smoke another Bobby, you'll figure it out.
It's not that hard to imagine. I just replaced my own flag pole this morning. The clasp at the top that holds the flag broke. The easiest way to fix it was to replace the whole pole and mount since it's a number of years old anyway. It's also not hard to imagine they bought a new flag to go with the new pole. Perhaps you should "figure it out"? BTW, I'm Canadian.....you guys aren't the only patriotic citizens of the world 😉
@@SnowPiercer1975 lol you still dont get it. Its okay, your canadian
@@LuisSanchez-dk7ne Why don't you explain it to me then? Somehow you seem to be offended because she threw out the pole? The flag part I get.....but the pole?And it's "you're" Canadian....not "your" Canadian. Unless you guys have different grammatical rules as well?🤣
That person who threw out the flag is a traitor
The American Flag is to be retired through an honorable ceremony. The Boy Scouts do regular ceremonies and so do many other military/veteran organizations.
its a stripe of cloth. its literally nothing.
@@TheLuuman Exactly man that's what I'm saying, people see it as a symbol of our country and I get that, but people do realize that most of us spend 40+ hours a week at work. No one's got time to spend half an hour to an hour burning a flag for no reason. They're only burning it because it's trash at that point, and there's a much quicker way to dispose of trash... the trash can.
any VFW will take them.
I really hope you are joking, it is clear you never served away from your precious little family, you do not have the guts to do so, however I did serve to protect your right to run your mouth, karma comes back around, and you will say it to the wrong person. My Mom taught me if I had nothing nice to say to keep my mouth shut!! This is one time I can not follow what she taught me, 3 of her boys did serve!! My Mom was a proud military Mom. Oh and she loved our flag and nation!!!@@TheLuuman
@@thecia9498 If somebody doesn’t want to treat the flag with respect and retire it properly when the time comes, they shouldn’t purchase and display it, either. Easy.
Sooo she accidentally threw away the flag, then must've accidentally started recording the man? And somehow accidentally got on the news..?
😒
Probably threw it away cause it was dirty and she is too lazy to clean it. Started recording cause she was offended a guy was going through her trash, than realized she is the villain in this story.
She want to show the news the respect of the garbage man for the flag, but at same time she for for got that she is showing her disrespect towards the flag
Once a Marine, always a Marine. An honorable man. I feel there are many silent honorable men in this country.
She just embarrassed herself by being the one who threw out the flag. Props to that Marine for showing the flag some respect.
Flags are made in china
It's really not that embarrasing. People place too much value on a simple flag. And no, people haven't fought and died for the flag. They fought and died for the country. The flag and country is a different thing. Besides, America was founded on cruelty and horrible acts so I personally dont care much. I dont dislike our flag, I just dont care about it. And she doesnt have to either.
Yes, but she willingly made it public. She could have just erased the video and said nothing.
they had a major wind storm the day before chill
This made me cry for more than one reason.
This is what I’d like to see in a museum. A piece of history tied to such an amazing man with an entire life story behind his actions.
She should be ashamed of herself. She knew exactly what she was doing when she without any regard for those that died to protect us and the flag tossed it in the garbage. Such an insult to anyone serving, has served or paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives so that disrespectful woman could live the American dream and be free. My utmost thanks goes out to the Marine vet for serving this great country.
Who would throw away an American flag on purpose, then film the trash man removing it and respectfully folding it, and then post the video on social media? I believe she did make an honest mistake.
She is ashamed of herself. She states as such and throws herself under the bus on the internet!
Everyone makes mistakes.
@@lynnleavitt478 someone who wants views on tiktok
@@justinw8512 Always one in every crowd that sees a deliberate act of disrespect as an innocent mistake. Just a coincidence an American flag was placed in the garbage can so it could be seen under the lid told me the entire story.
Brought tears to my eyes. I hope and pray the young ppl and every side of the political aisles are patriotic to the fallen heros that gave us the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. I am my grandpa and grandma's primary caregiver and my one grandpa is a WW2 vet and my other is a Korean war vet. Our government in the last 60 years have gotten us in to unnecessary wars but our veterans should not be the ones we take our frustration out on, they should be honored today tomorrow and as long as that flag is still waving.
Very big thanks to the man who saved the flag.
Respect for our military & their families 🙏🙏🏻🙏✝️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️🤍💙
let's celebrate that with bombing a school in Afghanistan (don't worry we just say it was an accident xdxdxd)
Karen of a flag🤣🤣🤣
@@simp2234 ok Linda 👍🏼 go back to bed 🛌 😴.
@@simp2234 shaquisha shut up.
i mean sure respect the military themselves, but who cares about the flag. Two different things.
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR SERVICE AND YOUR LOVE FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Semper Fi, my brother! As a vet myself, I love what our flag represents!
You know your country has lost its way when people take care of flags better than the returning veterans ... shame ..
Thank you for your service. Thank you for pulling the flag out.
She DID NOT accidentally throw that flag out! He is our hero❤❤. These are our veterans that deserve respect and this country’s support, remember this when you see a veteran in need. SEMPER FI!!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Why is she tossing the flag in the garbage, as if it were garbage, in the first place. Then to hear her say that she is married to a vet? Doesn't make sense. Clearly it was visibly in plain sight.
psyops fake news
Not everyone knows you shouldn't put an old flag in the trash. I wouldn't have known; now I do, for which I am grateful.
@@Prismatic_Truth yeah that is super not obvious!!! I thought they were supposed to be tossed.
This Marine deserves all the love and respect. Thank you for your service, to all veterans past and present!
imagine being brainwashed into treating a piece of cloth better than yourself. Real hero there.
Respect!! Thank you for your service sir!! And for saving all those flags, got 2 boys that serve my flag means everything !!!!!!!!!
Doing the right thing when your not being watched shows this Mans dedication! Great Stuff!!!!
Shame on those people for throwing it in the trash
psyops fake news
It’s just a piece of cloth
@@rogerszmodis you can say the same thing about everything. like a shirt your grandpa gave to you before he passed away. aint nothing much special about it just toss it in the trash
@@rogerszmodis It’s not ‘just a piece of cloth’ the same way that your family are ‘just billions of cells accumulated as such.’ It’s the flag, should be treated, honored, and respected correctly. There are several ways to properly dispose of a flag. Either a burning ceremony done correctly, or more often than not there are organizations who take them to repair or recycle them to create new ones. Thousands have over the last two hundred and such years for the promised and still carries on today. It is a true patriotic symbol, and should never be disregarded as ‘just a piece of cloth.’
@@M54B30_fan Yes I agree all american flags should be burnt!
This vet thanks him for his service. And his love for our country.
Love the fact she comes forward with her embarrassing act. Even produces it and turns into a lesson to others. Takes courage. Thank you sir for your service and your wonder act !!❤🙏🏼🌻
How TF do you “accidentally” throw out a flag?! I guess she thought that’s a way of getting her five minutes of fame but little does she know, it backfired and she came out looking like an idiot... her husband is a veteran also 🤦🏽♂ Shame on her!
Shame on her husband for staying with her
Thank you sir for honoring the flag and the nation thank you for your service
after the past 4 or 5 years of watching people wrap themselves in my glorious flag, for political purposes, it is inspiring to see an American who understands how to respect our flag!!! thank you sir.
Thank you! You are a true American, I think people forgot 😐
Those people are Trump and his GOP.
YOUR version of US Constitution & 1st Amendment is partisan and only applies to your approval. Disgusting.
How do you feel about flag towels and bikinis? Are they OK if YOUR side uses/wears it? Tell me about
'basket of deplorables...' Tell me about the 'smell in Walmart...' People like you-tearing at the fabric of the nation
do not deserve your birthplace-lottery freedom. Arrogant. Shame on you. [Written by a non-American.]
@@wisho-ro4305 You have a warped sense of truth. Read the US Constitution. Izzi is dizzy with arrogance.
But you! You celebrate and prop up Izzi's intentional partisan political ideology. You make things worse.
What is your idea of community, freedom of expression and...patriotism? Each country has a flag. ANY
citizen is entitled to wave it, for a variety of reasons. Ask yourself: which side burns the flag? Izzi knows.
@dusty rhodes Capital p start of sentence. Capital t proper noun. End sentence punctuation. Go on!
Tell the world: what did you suffer from, 5 yrs ago-before you developed Trump Derangement Syndrome?
Don't you find it sad, being a partisan, 2 dimensional person? Are you this obtuse when it comes to local
and state politics? Do you get involved with sheriff, judge and school elections? Only 62% voted!
Bless you sir. And thank you for your service and this act of honor & respect.
The man who threw our US flag in the garbage should face jail time
Nice to see that this guy who makes 1/100th what those NFL shitbags make for one game is giving them a lesson on class, honor and respect.
Sports worship is so overrated...
All the sports players know how to do is take a knee in disrespect, They are being laughed at for sure!!! I watched a video here on TH-cam that NFL players went up against US Marines in PT, the NFL players were whining that the Sergeants were banging on their doors at 04:30 demanding they get up and out to formation!!! They could not hold up to the PT the sergeants put them through, they were quickly introduced to Marine Drill Instructors!!! I Loved It!!!!
Great story but accidentally is questionable at best.
Exactly man,I am an immigrant and u dont ever throw out an American Flag,I have a problem with people who disrespect the flag.
I can't figure out how an "accident" like that could possibly play out in reality. She lacks the courage to admit her intention & she apparently lacks respect for her own husband's service.
You *NEVER* throw out a flag. Per the United States Flag Code, when an American flag is no longer fit for display, it should be disposed of in a dignified manner. There are dozens of places that take damaged flags: military organizations, veteran organizations, police stations, city halls, cemeteries.
That specific manner mentioned in the flag code is burning it.
The Boy Scouts will take them too
Don't forget boyscouts!
It's not a law. Get over it snowflakes
@@boataxe4605 Sorry to reply to an old comment but this has always thrown me off. If you shouldn't fly a flag that is no longer fit to fly and you replace it, what do you then do with your old flag? I get the flag code says to burn it but I don't think people would be too happy about someone doing that either. Does everyone just collect their old flags and store them away? What are other dignified ways to dispose of the flag?
As a Army combat veteran I salude this brother in arms. I will do the same if I have too. People don’t realize what we go through while serving the country. Many of us never come back, or we loose many friends in combat. I was lucky to been born in this country.
This veteran came from a time when Americans had respect and were proud of their country.
When I was in the scouts we had flag retirement ceremony's. It's a very respectful, honorable and emotional event.
Don't ever throw the flag away. Donate it to someone who will take care of it properly.
I did the same thing a few years ago and took that flag to a local organization for proper handling. Broke my heart.
Im not a vet, I am a garbage man and have been for 22 years now and it infuriates me to see our beloved flag thrown away. On occasion if I find one in the landfill I will bring it back to my yard and put it in a spot to be disposed of properly.
It's not "our" beloved flag: It's a piece of fabric that holds no value unless you let it. Not everyone has a reason to honor a country through a flag, or a reason to honor the country in general
@@Pugkin5405If you don't care about flags or countries or the symbolism they invoke that's fine. My question is why you feel a compelling need to denigrate the feelings of those who do care. Why say anything? I'm sure there are things you care about that others may not, yet they don't get upset about it. Unless you are just a troll trying to upset people, in which case no one cares about your opinion.

Everyone should respect our flag and the service men and women who fought died and were wounded defending the flag 🇺🇲 of this country

Respect the flag that was almost certainly made by someone not in the country who might be underpaid? what better way is there to show honor to the flag is there?!
That is a TRUE American. 🇺🇸 🇺🇲
