Ben Kinsey waves a flag from an Interstate 20 overpass Thursday in North Augusta, South Carolina. Kinsey is a 14-year veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Army and the Georgia National Guard, who felt compelled to stand in the heat and wave his flag after attending a 9/11 ceremony last year. This is the second year he has paid tribute to the first responders that gave their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, and wants to remind everyone of their sacrifices. He said it’s easy to tell when a veteran drives by — they give the flag a fast salute as they speed by.
