We are at the turning point. Do YOU want EVEN MORE SUFFERING? The world must stand against Russian terrorism or our future will be full of it. Putin must be stopped. We have to keep providing arms to the Ukrainians so the Ukrainians can oppose them.
🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Imagine, grown up guys who don't want veterans to be treated!
Not all Heroes wear capes and Thank you for your Service and Respect
No more American lives or American tax dollars to defend sav age Muslim nations.
And the Senate wants to screw the dying veterans out of healthcare
Well done Dominic.
Would have been better if the money had been spent on actually helping Vet's , there are countless homeless Vets , countless Vet's not getting the medical help they need , physically or mentally , countless VET's not getting the medications they need , countless VET's needing repairs or modifications to their homes etc .
This guy does more than anyone in Congress aside their pork spending. Thats how it works in America.
NBC, as usual you are late to report. This story aired on FOX 10 days ago. Do your homework
Real patriots would have goose bumps like me . Good job to that young man!
I hope he runs for political office when he's old enough. 🤗 What an amazing and determined young man. 😍😍😍
Phenomenal! What are remarkable young man!
👉🇺🇲👈👍
He isnt a teenager anymore
Interesting news coverage, about the memorial for veterans..
And a fast food worker that got M&M's for years of service got $360K from the community…
Think about that….
Pay attention fellows, What is happening, media like CNN, ABC NEWS, CNN, MSNBC, and federal organizations like FBI and others should protect the citizens and naturally should show the true informations and never hide the this true for USA citizens how is happening or to help the evil ideologies like socialism or communisties in this country and around the world. The true is that this organizations clearly are spread indirectly these evil ideologies basead in the marxism and others demoniacs evil tools. If you citizens haven´t take care of course that our sons, children and the humanity will go suffer a lot in the next years. Say not for hipocrits, say not for kind of the people that say that evil ideologies are for well.
So very beautiful. What a breath taking act of compassion for your community and veterans everywhere.👍✌❤
Learn to adjust your mentality
and avoid worrying your parents by sharing
your stress with them.
Practise filial piety by easing their minds and
taking responsibility
for your own karma and your lives.
The left doest care
Someone give this kid a recommendation for a military academy
At least kids care…our gov't is into wrecking things. And the rainbow peacock shows it. The only t time I watch lol
This 15 year old has done more for veterans than MAGA Republicans have in a decade. As a disabled veteran, and retired nurse, I Thank you, fella 👍🇺🇸
moronic.
why build memorials anymore? they're just going to be torn down by some crybaby in the future.
1:10 he invaded iraq to destroy like Russia indvading to Ukraine.

THANK YOU, FROM A PROUD, NAVY VETERAN.

A good kid with good intentions and the perseverance to see them through wishing him the best in his future.
Someone paying more than lipservice to veterans .
Those senators that blocked the PACT act can do the same , pass the bill NOW and give veterans more than stirring speeches at your election rallies or tweets of praise on veterans day.
If your senator was one of the blockers contact him now , tell him to pass the bill now or look for a new job .
Je ne suis pas un eunuque, je suis un homme normal
The killing of his own citizens has crossed a new line, now Zelensky is killing prisoners who began to talk about his war crimes. fter the murder of prisoners in Yelenovka, it is now clear to the most stupid that Zelya is a war criminal who kills his people, and even a super-fascist who has surpassed Hitler
It is such a Minnesota thing to do.
The rich stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then the poor stay by spending like the rich yet not imvesting like the rich
Great job! Much respect! The world needs more of this and less political rhetoric. Ubuntu Ma'at Ase'🙏🏿🇬🇼🇿🇦🇰🇪🇺🇸

Speaking of building, I applaud Biden’s decision to finish building President Trump’s wall. 👏👏👏
A memorial to murderers and thieves in uniform and waving a flag. No better than Putin.
God bless America.
