As Nate and Isaac's teachers and classmates found out, it takes more than just a heavy rainstorm to prevent them from doing their patriotic duty.

Not only did the boys take down the flag but they stood in the wind and rain to complete the proper 13 folds for a U.S. flag.

The school says that they are "so proud of Nate and Isaac for their responsibility, respect, devotion to duty, and love of country."
