Vietnam War Veteran Gives Purple Heart to Trump After Butler Assassination Attempt
Oct 06, 2024 at 01:54 am
A Vietnam War veteran gave his own Purple Heart to Donald Trump during a town hall event in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Friday to honor the former president's response during the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, the New York Post reported Saturday.
A Vietnam veteran gifted his Purple Heart to former President Donald Trump during a town hall event in North Carolina on Friday in recognition of Trump's response to an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, the New York Post reported Saturday.
The veteran, known only as Dwight, presented the medal onstage, commending Trump for his resilience.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida who moderated the event, read a letter from Dwight explaining his gesture.
"Watching you during the Butler rally, and you getting back up, both my wife and I gave a sigh of relief as well as a few tears," the letter began.
"I would be honored if you would accept this small token I received as a young Marine in Vietnam."
Trump was struck in the ear during the Butler rally on July 13 and was pulled down to the stage by Secret Service. As he was helped offstage by Secret Service agents after the all-clear was given, Trump pumped his fist and said, "Fight, fight, fight."
"You took it. You laid down there," Dwight told Trump. "You got back up, and the first words out of your mouth were, 'Fight, fight, fight.'"
Upon receiving the medal, Trump joked, "Whoa. Looks like a check," before acknowledging the seriousness of the gesture. "It's a great honor," he said.
The assailant, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was shot and killed by a Secret Service countersniper.
"And maybe it wasn't so much luck," Trump said of the incident. "Maybe it is something else, right? Maybe there's something else up there."
In return, Trump sent Dwight a letter and a challenge coin, a token of appreciation often given by military leaders.
