Seton Hall Employee's Video Gets National Attention  

A recent video of a FedEx driver folding a fallen American flag outside of a Seton Hall employee's home has gone viral.

The flag belongs to Rick Guerino, HVAC mechanic engineer who works in the University's Facilities Engineering Department. He has two sons who are also Pirates; one is a member of the Class of 2017 and one is a current senior.

Guerino's doorbell camera captured the moment when FedEx driver Chris Oslovitch paused during his delivery route to pick up and properly fold the flag. Guerino was stunned by the act of kindness and decided to share the video on Facebook.

The video quickly gained national attention and was picked up by numerous top-tier outlets including ABC, CBS, Fox News, People.com and USA Today. To date, it has also received more than 250,000 views and hundreds of comments on Facebook.

Guerino has flown the flag in his front yard since the attacks on 9/11. Oslovitch's father, who served as a first responder on the day, was the one who taught him how to properly fold a flag.

In honor of the men's shared connection, they plan to meet in person soon.
