98 years old and doesn't need reading glasses. That is amazing on its own.
Dang I didnt even notice that, I thought wow, he has great skin..lol
Or doesn’t even need a handler
@@PickleAllergythat’s to😂
You see the font size on his notes ? 😅
I know, right? I needed glasses in 3rd grade!
My 99 yr old Dad is a WWII vet. These men are true gold.
Bless him!!
My father was a WWII Veteran also, he would have been 100 on July 13. It was wonderful to see this veteran speak. There aren't many left here on earth. I hope you father is doing well.
I envy you. my dad passed in 2013 at 90 yrs old. He also fought in WW2, He landed on Omaha Beach the morning of D-Day & he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. I miss those heroes every day.🇺🇲

At 98, he is still more understandable than our current president.
You beat me to it lol.
well joey had his first stroke back in the 80s, he's had 2 others since.
He’s reading off of a paper bro
@@brucehera4675he is elderly honestly
Biden reads off of a teleprompter @@brucehera4675
It's so sad to think how few years there are before there are none of these guys left. They gave more than can ever be repaid. Truly the greatest generation.
But a small debt can be repaid. Keeping their home a Constitutional Republic, free of tyranny, lies, and dishonor. In this day and age, that means rejecting everything the left stands for and keeping America a nation that puts God first, truly, in deed..not just religious lip service. We are under judgement for our fall from gratitude, humility, honor and truth being our core values. As individuals and as voters, lets try to restore this mans home. God bless.
No generation is better then the other, no one chooses to be born at that time, it’s no different from racism, no one gets to choose want race they are, we are all the same at the end of the day, no one is better then the other
Not really no tbh, if anything they’re the reason we need trump

YES!!! 👏 THANK YOU!!! 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙
😂😂😂
Amen
Thank you for your service sir
He should've said, "I have 11 children, and I never pulled out" or some like that
98 years old! Biden wishes he could talk like this man. Thank you for your service.
You cant compare the life of a soldier with joe, who must have live in the same excess his kids have live.
🤭
Facts to that! I’d rather listen to this man because at least he can speak while Joe can’t at all
Young Americans are Not like this old guy … fast food video games were not their choice
Facts
I’m sure he loved all the ovations they gave him, completely deserved.
Yes! He is amazing!! 🤩
The ovations can often come with mixed feelings. So many were lost in ww2, this hero probably regards those lost as heroes. He is a hero in my book!
98yo, 11 kids and fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Wow. He’s really from the greatest generation where the men are real men.
+76 years of marriage to his wife.
So Bone Spurs Donald is not a real man. He hates the military and calls them losers. Can you believe that?
Facts! These were the men that created easy times for us. Now we bout to find out what men we have here.
Little bit of a contrast when you compare his generation and the current, ya think? Almost not even believable that they're generations of preople from the same planet.
I don't know what's worse, one poor woman having 11 kids or him having multiple kids with multiple wives. Completely inconsiderate for the wife/s and kids either way.
That man is a national treasure
Would that more folk thought that way!
also international ;-) Grtz frm Europe🤠
I read a book a few years ago by William Ash from Texas he signed up in 1940 & went to Canada to learn to fly. He "took the King's Shilling". I found out that when an American signed up before Pearl Harbor they lost their American citizenship. OMG!!!
This is a humiliation ritual.
This man helped bring (caIm. Unizm) into his own country. He had no idea what he was doing.
The fact that he's 98 years old and participated in World War II is incredible. We're losing These Fine gentlemen and gentlewomen everyday. God bless him.
You are right we are losing Americans who knew that people or a person who doesn't think much of the constitution, states he wants to be a dictator, call fallen soldiers loosers and refuse to turn over classified documents would be a traitor and worthy to stand up too. I too have had family who fought and died in WWII, Korean, Vietnam and Afgan. So, sorry, I don't go for the rhetoric that our fallen soldiers are loosers. I make a clear distinction such language is not American
It's lady, not gentlewoman. But yeah
Why do you preset their gender?
@@user-ft3jj5zb7zWhat are your pronouns ? 🙄

He looks better and speaks better than biden honestly
How old does he look
@@user-saraswatidevia new born BABY speaks better than Biden.
He’s old enough to be Biden’s dad, but Biden looks and sounds like he’s old enough to be this guy’s dad.
This guy is reading a speech that he didn’t even write. Notice how he didn’t know how to pronounce “humiliate” or “Afghanistan.”
This is absolutely awe inspiring. 98 years old. Battle of the Bulge.
This man gave a better speech than Biden has in his entire life.
God Bless
Thank you for your service

Who is Biden ? 😉
He is 98 years old and sounds much better than FJB. He seems better too. Thank you for your service. My dad was in that same war.
For real
...and Bill mentioned the "beaches."
FJB will plagiarize this too.
I served as a Marine in Afghanistan 2003 and 2004. I am in complete awe of this man, he’s lively and represents the best of what this country has to offer. What a treasure.

“America is still worth fighting for” that gave me chills and I almost teared up. Wow we do not deserve that generation.
Selective emotions
By far the most amazing generation of America.
Yes, vote blue all the way through.
@@maudeboggins9834 vote blue if you hate this country and everything this man fought to preserve, sure.
@@maudeboggins9834now why would we wanna do that
I am Russian but I respect all WW2 veterans doesn't matter where they come from, Soviet Russia, Great Britain or America, all that matters they are heroes who saved us from the Nazi world and I am grateful for the service of those who fell and lived to see this generation but its sad how our new generation spits on our veterans and simply are ungrateful and I am 17 years old which makes this even more sad me knowing I am part of that generation. Long live the legends and heroes of that time URA!
veterans from germany as well right?
@@Simon-vv3klI mean the nazis wanted to wipe out the Slavs lol so I doubt he would care for German vets
Now Russia is stopping the modern Nazis which is EU, NATO and Ukraine.
Unfortunately we all technically “won” but USSR and USA absorbed many of those “Nazis” into places of power to benefit themselves. Love my country but there’s been questionable and shady figures behind the scenes for a long time and we’re seeing that today.
@@Simon-vv3kl How can I answer this without making anyone offended, lets just say for those who had not committed any atrocities are well deserving a respect as a regular soldier serving his country even though the country is filled with War Criminals in high command

I found this speech very upsetting. These guys gave so much of themselves for their country, that parts of them are lost forever to time. These guys didn’t come back the same. The sights this man must have seen literally terrifies me. Yet here he is, 98yo and addressing the nation/world. If it wasn’t for men like this, I wouldn’t be here to type this today, and I’m so grateful to ALL of them. I’m not American, I’m British, but have to say Thank you for your Service Sir x
🎉
What’s truly upsetting about this, is how Trump exploited this poor man. He fought in WWII against a very similar kind of evil to the one he’s now on stage endorsing. Disgraceful.
I was crying the entire time. He represents True America.

I keep telling people with Joe it's not his age. He has a medical condition. This man is coherent.
yep i can understand what hes saying unlike our current president
What ever party one belongs too it's important to listen to the words and rhetoric. Biden isn't the best president but he functions like one and respects our soldiers and our constitution and doesn't throw a hissy fit when he's wrong. When Trump denied what he was doing for fmany minutes while the capitol was being attacked,, when he called our fallen soldiers loosers, when he held on to classified documents that could endanger our national security, when he rambles he wants to be dictator and now he associates himself with Jesus or God, then I remember my history and say wait such rhetoric has been heard many times in history and it has been mouths of those dictotors that these fallen soldiers have fought against. My family respected America, my family have some who have fought in WWII, Korean, Vet and Afg. So, I watch and study and sorry you guys who like Trump, he's using words that are not right for America and for our soldiers.
@@shattered115 Exactly!

He looks really fantastic for being 98 smooth skin, barley any wrinkles on his face, i wanna be like him when I get old😊

Real american.
So OTT . America is seen as a isolationist nation . Britain is the greatest nation in the history of the world not the states
this guy is a walking and talking piece of history from a very pivotal era in world history. glad that there are still a few of these combat vet heroes left from WW2.
Same here sir! What a privilege it would be just to sit and talk with this honorable soldier!! 🎖
He said he'd reenlist if president Trump was president...amazing man!
98 Years Old and still a kickass Hero! Age is but a number, a true hero surpasses all the odds for the things he/she would fight for.
“America is our home “. Yes sir,it is. We thank you for your service. 🇺🇸
He did the Bulge, this man as seen and lived hell. Lost many friends and gave his all and managed to live through it. To watch what people have done to this country after all those men did in WWII to fight for freedom. God Bless this man.
100%
I appreciate that and I served in the Navy from 1996-2009 and have mad respect for those brave men and women of that time...my grandfather was a WW2/Korean War Vet and I remember when I was a child starting around 10 years old until he passed when I was 14 the stories he told I miss those days and I too feel saddened when I see what do many gave blood for this country just for a bunch of elites to try and ruin it, it's refreshing to see people waking up
What people forget is how cold it was at that time too. They also fought though Christmas, those boys had it rough.
That man has seen horror ill grantee ya seen stuff make me cry like a little girl he's been shot at a lot to ...and made home and us 98 years old hell of a life

To see a 98 year old war veteran that fought in the most dangerous and evil war ever inflicted upon the human race getting the cheer of “USA, USA, USA” warmed my fucking heart. He’s one of the reasons we are here today speaking English and living free rather than German and living under fascism. Thank you rnc

Yes the western people (not governments) are good especially those who put their lives on the line for their people I only hope you recognise the fact that USSR is who defeated Hitler under Georgian leadership, Stalin was his name but because he was not from UK of France or USA or Canada his story in wester world is miss told and he is put in the same camp as Hitler and that is disgusting and sad..
This shit was moving last night ngl. Did not expect that, and this badass mf had 11 kids, married 8 fucking decades, stormed the beaches came back and at 98 said a beautiful speech and has more love for this country than 99% of people I know
Damn right🤙🏽
Facts
Thats why he lived so long. Surrounded by too much love.❤❤❤
As I listened to the old soldier's speech, tears streamed down my face. During World War II, many American Air Force pilots traveled to China to fight alongside the Chinese army, resisting the Japanese invasion and helping liberate my compatriots. Those who died in the war were laid to rest in China. Each of these brave souls fought for freedom and to end persecution. I deeply admire these American soldiers who left their homes and crossed an ocean to help the Chinese people, much like the American volunteers now on the front lines in Ukraine. To me, they embody the best of America: kind, just, and willing to stand up for what's right.
As a child, my father often bought me Mickey Mouse magazines, and I especially loved Donald Duck. His life seemed idyllic: a young duck who worked for his uncle Scrooge, lived in a big house with a red roof, drove a red car with white-wall tires, and had a loving girlfriend, Daisy. Despite his likely modest income (given Scrooge's notorious stinginess), Donald managed to afford a nice house and even support his sister's three children. On weekends, he'd take Daisy to the park or fancy restaurants, and he grew strawberries in his backyard. To me, Donald Duck's life represented the American Dream.
But what about America today? Recently, I saw a video of American soldiers competing to swallow a fake phallus taped to a wall. Look at Philadelphia, where countless Americans struggle with drug addiction - it's heartbreaking. While addicts may not represent all Americans, it's clear that the average American today can't afford the lifestyle I once imagined, especially those like J.D. Vance describes in his work.
That's why, as a Chinese person, I support Mr. Trump. I long for the return of the great, righteous America I dreamed of as a child. I've earned permanent resident status in Canada through hard work and dedication. Next year, I hope to become a Canadian citizen, then secure an H-1B visa to work in the United States. My goal is to eventually live a life like Donald Duck's.
I may not have been born American, but I hope that one day I'll be surrounded by neighbors as brave, loving, and honorable as that veteran. I want to experience the America I've always believed in - a land of opportunity, justice, and the kind of people who would cross oceans to help others in need.
We owe America and especially the valiant 98 year old and his buddies buried in Europe! I hope Donald Trump lives as long as this hero and brings America back to God! And freedom ! This veteran is the true face of America! UK 🇬🇧
I went through Basic Training at 30yrs old (5yrs ago) and got to meet & shake hands with a WWII Vet. My first time and was extremely honored. A lot of the 17-20yr old didn't realize how rare it is to even see a WWII Vet, let alone to be able to shake the hand of one.
i had a similar experience in my basic training when i was just 17 years old (5 years ago) we had the honor of having 3 WW2 veterans announce our graduating class. The first man was in the 1st Infantry division and arrived on Omaha beach in a landing craft on the morning of June 6th who was part of the initial troops on the ground. The other man from the 101st Airborne division parachuted in behind enemy lines and was tasked with disrupting the German defense lines and use the element of surprise while the main force landed the beaches. The final man was in the Marines as a flamethrower during the battle of Iwo-Jima. Many of us knew the significance of these men being in our presence and we didn’t take it for granted. Such a blessing to speak to them after our ceremony and have them come to our barracks and tell some stories. As someone who has studied WW2 since i was a little kid, it was one of my greatest moments of my life to share some words with them and shake their hands. Unfortunately they have passed away and one cannot replicate their stories, only people who have had the honor of speaking & listening to them can understand the true emotions and experiences they have had. God bless them
@@6bmwYou guys are very fortunate. I embrace your story. The remaining men today from WW2 are literally living mythical legends. Thank you for sharing your experience.
@6bmw that very well may be true, but I'm hesitant to believe that the veterans who were there all happened to be at arguably the most infamous battles and some of the most intense fighting of WW2. Just sounds a little made up but definitely could be possible
Im 30 and english met a handful of ww2 vets when i was a child. Very luck to have a chat with Them. also the last surviving ww1 veteran on the planet was a local so we had a school trip to visit him!
@@Jordan-rb28 the fact that they were all in those battles were the reasons they came to our graduation. Many of us have relatives that fought in WW2 but only a few have relatives of that caliber during the war. To even think that i made that up is ridiculous but also speaks to how much people don’t understand nowadays
This man served with my Mother's father.
I hate to be that person. But... your grandfather?
(I understand the reasoning now)
I woulda just called him my grandfather
She is correct in her reference of her mother’s father. Most people have 2 grandfathers and she is making reference to specify the correct man and honor him. My neighbor was a WW2 veteran as well. Enlisted at age 15 and was a paratrooper. He served in Africa, Europe and Japan during that time. 2 silver stars and 1 bronze. My children grew up with a mighty example. I miss him very much.

My uncle was a war war 2 veteran, and he was a prisoner of war. He escaped but was torchered. The rest of his troops were killed. My uncle rarely spoke of it. I asked him when I was a kid and had to do a report on a war. I chose war war 2 and asked my uncle if I could interview him with my tape recorder. He gave in and did it.

Thank you for your service! This veteran at 98 speaks better than Biden.
I agree with you 💯 👍
Biden has a medical condition; this man is an ordinary American who went off to war and lived a long life to talk about it. We still have celebrities who are in their 90s, Barbara Eden, Dick Van Dyke 98, Marion Ross from Happy Days, Carol Burnett, Angie Dickinson/Policewoman, William Shatner/Star Trek. God Bless them all. They all still have sharp minds. Some others weren't so lucky and suffered from Alzheimer's like Tony Bennett, Steve Lawrence, Glen Campbell. Not to mention President Ronald Reagan.
This guy is absolutely precious! I'm sitting in my chair at home cheering him on as if I were in the crowd! He is the HEART of this country. Valiant and brave in every way. I am truly grateful there are still people like him out there who represent the best this country has to offer! God bless the U.S.A.!❤🤍💙
So very special and awesome to have a WWII Veteran to speak at the RNC and show his support for President Donald Trump! God bless this courageous, heroic Veteran of the Greatest Generation!!!
❤️🙏🇺🇸💪
Thank God for men like him! 🙏🇺🇸
Seeing a 98 year old World War 2 veteran that is still sharp and alert like this man is like meeting someone famous from the history books, a ghost from the past if you will, in the flesh! His friends and family are sure proud of this man! If was there I would probably shake his hand profusely thanking him for his service. I grew up reading about the Normandy landings and the Battle of the Bulge, watching movies and even playing video games about them. And now here is a man that actually lived that moment.. fascinating indeed. God bless this man! And God bless President Trump. Please keep him safe. And God please watch over our elections and spare us any shenanigans this November..
My Dad was a WW2 Veteran and taught me everything i know. Thats why im a REPUBLICAN!!
You can be any party you want to be. But, if your dad was a WW2 vet what would he say when someone calls fallen soldiers loosers.?
Trump never called fallen soldiers losers. It's amazing you believe every lie the MSM tells you.
@@jensee2691 Source: Proof; Evidence Visual evidence? As far as I can tell, this is simply a statement. And nothing else except a declaration. As of right now, it is untrue. You are, at best, wordbending. You should stop listening to legacy media and conduct your own research. Use X. Alot of sensible people speak the truth far more.
@@jensee2691losers. You spelled loose. Like my pants are loose. I need these shoes a little looser.
He taught you everything YOU know 😂😂😂😂
As a portuguese, I sincerely thank this veteran heroe. That’s because people like him we live in a free world.
Always an honor hearing a WW2 vet speak, the wisdom, and collectedness he possesses is truly inspiring. Thankyou, sir. For your service
This guy fought in the toughest war in modern times, is 98 and can still talk and make perfect sense for 7 minutes. Some people should take notes.
He just rambled vaguely about the war.. except at 3:55 - 4:35 where he was completely unintelligible. Sad that Trump needs to abuse this veteran just to virtue signal, when we know he doesn't give a shit about veterans
He chose to be there and want it to say that
@@durrnip no, Trump care about all people of the world
@@ocasnik123 well, I m not against trump or pro biden, bit people can fake their care and emotions towards vets to support their narratives. You can not be 100% sure and the past showed it. It is best not to worship any candidate.
He is absolutely amazing as a 98 year old Veteran. He is so cute and dignified. He's a Hero and a Legend. Thank you for your Service, Sir. You are a brave and courageous man. You are a true American Patriot and Hero.
He has the absolute sweetest eyes, a genuine warmth radiates from them. I love him so much and I’m indebted to him. Salute, sir.
The world will feel like an empty place when the last of these men pass away. Their absence will be felt. These men and women are living history, having lived through a time that will be considered legendary, a time where good triumphed over evil. So much of our modern world was defined by the times these people lived in, and to see the last of them disappear will be a day to mourn.
From the UK thank you very much, Long live America and the UK
UK needs to stand up
Did you mean united kingdom of Islamistan
Sorry for the idiotic comments above. Thanks for giving thanks. 👍
I loved everything the world
War II, Veteran said, he is a true American Patriot. God bless
him, and thank you for your
service to our country.
A true American bad ass! What a honor it is to see him speek .
A great example of strong men make easy times, weak men make hard times! Thank you for your service Sir.
One of the best speeches yet!
Tears of pride for a man that lives on
This is beautiful. You won’t see this anywhere else. The people of this country need hope.
I'm not even American and this brought a tear to my eye, especially when he said he never got to see his friends again. Not many of these heroes left, we should all treasure them while they're still here.
Hes in great form for someone whos been around for a century.
and lived through the battle of the bulge
Thank you for your life and service. These young punks today have no clue and they should respect vets , especially war vets
Thank you, sir for serving our country. God bless you 🙏 ❤️
“America is our home”
God Bless you Sir and thank you for your service.
I’m in tears…..
🙏
Wow! I didn’t know Captain America lived among us and was very real. It’s an honor to hear you sir and a privilege to have you around.
This is captain America if he didn’t time travel to the future. Amazing man. I love him ❤️
Broo :C sadge
I’m 26 and I’m friends with this world war 2 veteran he’s 104 and honest to god even looks better than this fellow, he tells me all the stories from the past, it’s truly an honor to have him as a friend ❤😢
Even if i am not American, i really admire to you and your friendship with WW2 veteran. It is an honor and privilege to even know any one of them. Keep being his friend and help him as much as u can. Greetings from Serbia.
Nice
dude I want to meet and talk to one of these heroes before they're all gone.
Wow
That's amazing. With all due respect to him you should kindly ask him if it would be ok with you recording his stories
He looks like an angel...What a serene and peaceful eyes/face! May GOD bless you and your family! 🙏
Thank you for liberating my country with the Canadians. We can't thank the Americans and Canadian Veterans enough❤
I am a veteran of the US Army Infantry. That man is my brother.
How old are u sir
@@brynz9797 Doesn't matter how old you are, if you have ever served in the Armed Forces then every soldier is your brother or sister, doesn't matter how old they are or where they have served. Former Air Force and MP here BTW.
