An act of patriotism was captured on camera outside a North Carolina fire station, and the internet is loving it.

Two unnamed children are shown saluting the flag in a Facebook post made by The Roseboro Fire Department. The department’s chief said the boys were also reciting the pledge of allegiance.

It happened as the fire station’s Champlain was raising the flag to full staff.

4. I've seen something very similar many times on a military base

Children of military families will stop everything and stand at attention with their hands over their hearts every evening when Taps is played on military bases. They jump out of swings, stop playing ball or bouncing on the trampoline, etc.

5. You should change your OP title from 'boys! To 'children'

One of those kids is a girl.

6. I don't think so, one of the comments is from the mom of one & she says "nephew" for the other.
