A reader alerted me to this incredible story of patriotism at a high school in Heber City, Utah:
Student Ben Schofield is known around Wasatch High School for his American spirit. He flies an American flag from the back of his red pickup truck.
"I think it's really important," Ben told Fox 13 in Salt Lake City. "It's not just the material part of the flag, it's the meaning behind it."
The other day someone set fire to Ben's flag in the school parking lot. Part of his truck was scorched by the blaze.
Some of his classmates saw what happened and rushed over to extinguish the fire.
"They pulled into the parking lot and they saw it on fire so they stopped and got it out and then they went and told the office," Ben told Fox 13 in Salt Lake City.
