A WWII veteran who was there on D-Day named William Pekrul spoke at the Republican National Convention tonight and got a lot of love from the crowd.
Pekrul received numerous rounds of applause during his speech as he described being there to witness the horror of the Nazi death camps and how he kissed the ground when he came home to America.
At one point, he suggested that if Donald Trump was commander in chief again, that he would reenlist. The crowd went absolutely wild.
Watch clips of his speech below:

It’s hard not to get emotional watching a WW2 veteran speak.
We have fallen so far. We need to honor them and their sacrifice.

Do you think there will be any WWII D-Day veterans speaking at the Democrat convention in August?
