Vietnam War Veteran Gives Purple Heart to Donald Trump

During a town hall in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Trump sat down with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and took questions from the audience.

A Vietnam veteran gave former President Donald Trump a Purple Heart during a town hall in North Carolina on Monday.

Trump sat down with Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) during the event in Fayetteville and took questions from the audience. At one point, Luna told Trump there was a man in the audience who wanted to give him a “small token” of appreciation.

The man, identified as Dwight, gave Trump an envelope and told him it was a token he received as a young Marine in Vietnam.

“I couldn’t think of anybody more deserving of a Purple Heart,” Dwight said, referring to Trump, who avoided service during the Vietnam War due to what has been described as bone spurs on his feet.

“Thank you,” Trump replied.

“You took it,” Dwight said of the attempt on Trump’s life in July. “You laid down there, you got back up, and the first words out of your mouth was, ‘Fight, fight, fight.'”

The crowd cheered as Trump then claimed that when a person is shot in the ear as he was, “it bleeds more than any other part of the body.”

It is at least the second Purple Heart Trump has been “awarded.” During a rally in Ashburn, Virginia in 2016, a retired lieutenant colonel gave the soon-to-be-resident the medal.

“I always wanted to get a Purple Heart,” Trump declared at the time.
