      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.

    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.

      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

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.

    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..

      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.
