Wyatt, a rising third-grader, told ABC News he was riding his electric motorcycle on his way to see whether a best friend could play when he came across the flag.
"I thought about all the people that died for our country and the troops," he said today. "And I once saw ISIS stepping and burning our flag and I got really mad. ... I knew they were bad people and I knew they hate Americans."
Wyatt said that in school, he said the pledge every morning. He said he enjoyed learning about U.S. history and had wanted to do something for those who fight for U.S. freedom.
"I just wanted to support our Americans," he said. "So if they have to fight ISIS, they can have some support."
