Yet amidst the sea of faces, there is one person among the thousands and thousands of attendees who... catches the president’s eye. President Trump doesn’t know him or his story, but based on the hat he is wearing, our president knows he is a veteran... Instead of just... exiting the arena, the president stops. He straightens and then salutes instinctively. He mouths the words, “thank you.”...I turn my head to see who the man is that the President... just saluted [—] Staff Sgt. Roy Hodges, who flew 34 combat missions as a gunner on a B-24 Liberator over Europe in WWII and is now 95 years old. As I thank him for his service, he... tells me he has terminal cancer with only a few months to live. ...this moment... is one of the proudest of his life — to have been saluted and thanked personally by the Commander in Chief himself. He tries to control his emotions but they are at the surface by now, as are mine.
President Trump, without even knowing it, gave this man, among the last of the greatest generation, a meaningful and memorable send-off into the sunset of his remarkable life of sacrifice and service. As we speak, I think of all the other brave men and women who put themselves in harm’s way all around the world on behalf of our nation, and have no doubt the president would salute them all if he could. He sees them, applauds them, admires them, and acknowledges their bravery and heroism.
There is a video in the following tweet of a makeover for a homeless vet. It is awesome.
Take a moment and digest this...
These patriots fought for our country, many lost life and limb and sacrificed so much as did their families.
Many are homeless and discarded, as liberals ignore them while coddling illegals.
Look at his face...tears
WE PLACE OUR VETS FIRST! https://t.co/sCcbrGN5Fu— ♦️GAYE GALLOPS♦️ (@gaye_gallops) November 11, 2019
