VICTORIA – After Hurricane Harvey left the city of Victoria without power or water, police officers driving through the devastation stopped after seeing a fallen American flag.
The officers got out of their patrol vehicle, picked up, folded and stored the flag.
Greg Shelby, a resident of Victoria who stayed behind, saw the officers folding the flag and posted the photo to social media over the weekend in hopes of bringing some people smiles after Harvey's path of destruction struck the small town.
On Sunday, H-E-B send convoys carrying food, water, a pharmacy, ATM and generators to Victoria.
More than 100 HEB employees made their own way to Victoria to volunteer.
