(VIDEO): WWII Veteran Breaks Down In Tears While Discussing The State Of America


A World War II veteran from Florida broke down in tears while celebrating his 100th birthday because he was so disappointed in what America had become. Marine veteran Carl Spurlin Dekle from Plant City, Florida, claims that fighting against evil in World War II was his biggest pride but that the country has gone downhill since then.
flowers, and the green grass in the ground, that’s beautiful,” he told Fox13.

Dekle became a decorated soldier during his time in combat. He earned a Silver Star for his bravery in the First Marine Division during the war against Adolf Hitler.

“He inspired his unit to exert maximum effort in assisting to capture and destroy the enemy position,” a description of the award on The Wall of Valor Project website reads. “By his personal courage, bold leadership, and staunch devotion to duty, Sergeant Dekle upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.”

Nevertheless, Dekle is deeply disappointed in America today.

“We haven’t got the country we had when I was raised, not at all,” he said. “Nobody will have the fun I had. Nobody will have the opportunity I had. It’s just not the same. And that’s not what our boys, that’s not what they died for.”

America today is embattled with rising inflation, racial unrest, mass shootings, income inequality, and extremely high health care costs.
