Midway through former President Donald Trump's Friday town hall event in Fayetteville, North Carolina, he was given an extraordinary gift by an extraordinary man.

A decorated Vietnam War veteran, identified only as Dwight, appeared on stage halfway through the event to present the Republican presidential nominee with a “small token.”

Purple hearts are for shedding blood. The second attempt drew no blood, thank God.

Yet the left, despite a death at the event, dismisses PDJT wounding as not significant. Having a grazing wound to your ear by a projectile going 2,500-3,000 fps would have them still curled up whimpering in a fetal position. Semper Fi sir and thank you for your service.

Marines/Navy put a 5/16 th gold star on the ribbon for second woundings. Army puts an oak leaf on the ribbon.

That marine almost surely gave his blood for his country, or he wouldn’t have a purple heart to give.

Unfortunately, even blood shed from a grain of rice in the butt-cheek from a ‘nade tossed in a rice bag.

Uplifting article of the day. Thank you Marine. And thank you President Trump for getting right back up with blood streaming down your face. Both are real men.
