  1. Congratulations to the gentleman.

  2. To go with how FEMA needs to coordinate with OCHA over Florida and Puerto Rico, last week Oregon needs help with their 4.4 earthquake just like Alaskans had to deal with both earthquake and flood! Katrina Villanueva San Pedro CA

  3. We fought the wrong enemy. – General S. Patton to his wife before they murdered him.

  4. Thank you for your service which I ask god to keep you and your family happy and healthy always. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  5. It is awesome to see this! I am a staunch world war II buff and I honestly believe this man should have gotten his silver medal long ago. He's 107 years old and he's just now getting that recognition come on that should have been happened a long time ago. One way or another I'm so proud that he got his medal that he lived to get it and it wasn't awarded posthumously and to see some amount of traditional values and honor that our military used to have and these men are why we used to have that! They're tenacity their ability and their willingness is the only thing that kept our country going and saved the world! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

  6. Well Deserved Sir! Thank You for You Service to.Our Country!!🙏💕♥️

  12. That is nicest thing I have seen this country do for a veteran in a long time…this country treats it's vets poorly at best…yes I am a vet ….and that man is a hero…

  13. Will always be a hero. Bless him and his family.

  14. This man cannot legally smoke medical marijuana

    By law, USA only prescribes opioids and narcan.

    Weed4veterans instead of VA opioids!

    USA Denies Veterans housing, shelter, and safe parking when Veterans use state legal Medical Marijuana instead of Veterans Affairs Opioids!

    By law, all veterans affairs hospitals and all military hospitals can only legally prescribe OPIOIDS with Narcan!

    Veterans are denied housing, shelter, bathrooms, showers and PTSD treatment when we use medical marijuana instead of Veteran Affairs opioids!

    My Federal government ONLY approves OPIOIDS and Narcan for Veterans; USA forces Veterans to become OPIOID addicts; otherwise; homeless.

    VA has contract with big pharma and pay less for OPIOIDS than Medical &Medicare.

    Medical Marijuana does NOT lead to OPIOID addiction; Opioids lead to OPIOID addiction

    Medical Marijuana does NOT lead to Opioid overdose deaths; Opioids are the cause of OPIOID Overdose Deaths!

    Natural Born U.S. Citizen; Los Angeles; I am the Brown Dog, This Devil Dog says “FU”
    USMC retired!
    I use medical marijuana to cope and manage Instead of VA opioids, and I am criminalized by federal government.

    Biden you are a Hypocrite!

    My rapist is a free man in USA!

    My rapist is White Man, US Navy, Eric Thurman; he RaPED me because he fetishized my dark exotic skin color.

    There is No Justice in USA, so I smoke state legal medical marijuana

  15. God bless this brave hero!

  16. Finally some good news today

  17. Why did this take so long?

  18. 77yrs late. Glad he was still alive to receive it. They should have given him a golden star and Purple Heart. Bad army!

  31. As the prime worldwide targeted victim of the injustice of scapegoating crimes organised by conspirators former US President Donald Trump and former Australian Federal Police officer Jon(Jonathan) since 2020 when Trump lost the election I have been technologically targeted the entire time and exposed to an immense amount of clandestine and government information due to the misuse of Federal Bureau of Investigation technology which since the beginning of innocent victims being set up for police charges of illegal pornography in 2020 it has been Trump misusing all resources of the FBI technology, corrupt law enforcement persons and election funding in a hate crime personal agenda of misdirected fury and future circumstances that are unacceptable to him.

  32. …he looks a bit young for a ww2 vet..
