I stood up, when he said he was willing to reenlisted and started saluting, but I have never been to America…Hm..)
Truly the greatest generation thank you for your service Sir
The greatest generation
Why do American veterans wear so much stuff? In the uk only medals, a unit patch and sometimes a hat is worn. 🤔
loo
lol
He hit that beach and fought at the bulge..
What a legend, and to all those American boys saved us in the pacific also .. Thankyou !!
Come on America you can do it !!
A grateful Kiwi. From NZ
Come on America !!!
From what I can determine from ancestry records, his birth name was William Martin Krzewina. (Shown as an unemployed veteran in 1946 draft registration.) His mother, Anna, remarried to Boleslaus Pekrul. (1940 US Census.) Ancestry records do not show him receiving any medals under either Krzewina or Pekrul. Neither do any of the DoD or other military websites I could find. No Silver Star. No Bronze Stars. No Purple Heart. No WW2 hospital records. No record of participation in Normandy, Northern France, the Bulge, anywhere. I hope someone can produce genuine records for him.
Thank you for your service to our country sir.
98 years old and has more brain congeituid, than the President of the free world. Scary
98 years young and gives a better speech than Biden could ever do
So we just gonna ignore that Trump basically dodged the draft? Lol I don't even like/dislike the guy. But C'mon now 🤣
Why don't they let the WW2 military man talk as they know discipline it's as if they are at football game.
God bless you sir! he still has that "spark" in his eyes
His cognitive skill is very impressive for 98 years old he can destroy Joe Biden in a debate any day.
❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful to hear this man!
A military veteran such as this man is truly irreplaceable.
Simply amazing!
This guy fault fascism and now is supporting it.
Awesome to see,!
The America they fought for only exists in the past. Many of his Comrades died on those battlefield s. Trump dodged the Draft so someone could take his place.
why is it that the right love this country and many of the left literally hate this country….
God Bless You and Yours…we appreciate your service !!! We love you…..
Beautiful! ❤ And so well said!! Thank you sir
And to think……this man would be ridiculed at a Biden Democratic rally.
