Meet Rick
YouTube, CBS New YorkRick Guerino Jr., a freehold homeowner, considers himself a patriotic American.
Sign Of Patriotism
PexelsTo show how much he loves his dear country, he set the star-spangled banner flying proudly in front of his home.
The Reason Why
PexelsIt was the 9/11 attacks that encouraged Rick to set up a flag pole in his front yard.
A Windy Day
PexelsOn a windy day in February, Rick’s flag pole fell on the ground, and this led to a surprising act of a delivery guy.
He Saw A FedEx Driver
YouTube, CBS New YorkFrom his doorbell camera, Rick saw a FedEx driver pull up in front of his house. He said, “I just saw a FedEx guy coming up my driveway, and I didn’t know why, because I wasn’t getting a package. And all of a sudden he bent down and picked up my flag.”
He Thought He’s Stealing It
YouTube, CBS New YorkAt first, Rick thought the FedEx driver was going to run away with it but instead, the man simply folded the flag up the proper way and placed it on Rick’s porch.
His Name Is Chris
YouTube, CBS New YorkRick posted the footage on Facebook and that’s how he found out that the driver’s name is Chris Oslovitch who, as it turns out, has a father who had been one of the first responders to receive on the scene after the 9/11 attacks.
Strict Upbringing
PexelsRick learned that both of Chris’s grandfathers had also served in the war. It seems like they would certainly get on well, and the two plan on having dinner together soon.
