    Default 94 year old WWII vet has a request for the president...

    That's pretty cool, the 'ol timer will be 95 soon and asked president Trump if he could get him and his family into see the oval office, and Trump didn't miss a beat in allowing him to do so! Good for him, the old timer earned it!!

    Skip to about 2:30 if you don't want to watch the whole thing.

    94 year old WWII vet has a request for the president - Trump's reaction shows how much he loves the military

    When President Trump invited a 95-year-old World War II Veteran and life-long VFW member on stage during his speech in Kansas City, Missouri, on Tuesday afternoon, he made a request the president could not refuse.

    President Trump brought Sergeant Alan Jones from Pennsylvania onto the stage to make remarks at his address at the VFW National Convention.

    After praising Trump for his support for veterans, he turned and asked the president if he would oblige him in fulfilling a life-long goal of his.



    “Mr. President, I want to ask you something,” Jones said.

    “I have been told that I could never enter the Oval Office in Washington, D.C. I am going to be 95 years of age April 11 of next year. Hopefully, you will allow me to bring my family into the Oval Office to meet you.”

    Without missing a beat, Trump leaned in and emphatically said, “Yes. Any time you want!”

    The crowd reacted with a standing ovation at the awesome moment.

    I heard this live and it was great how he asked if he and his family could come to Oval on his birthday next year when he's 95.

    Aww, love this! Especially since my Dad died last year at age 93; a Bronze Star decorated WWII veteran of the campaign in Italy. These guys are almost gone.
