President Donald Trump made a promise to 94-year-old Sgt. Allen Jones after inviting him up on stage at an event hosted by the Kansas City Veterans of Foreign Wars in July 2018.
Having made the long trip from Pennsylvania just to be present at the event, the 2015-16 VFW Chief of Staff said, “Mr. President, I want to ask you something.”
“I’m going to be 95 years of age on April 11 of next year,” Jones told Trump, “Hopefully, you will allow me to bring my family into the Oval Office to meet you.”
he president was quick to agree.
On Thursday afternoon, Trump made good on his promise by hosting Jones and three other distinguished World War II veterans in the Oval Office to celebrate the serviceman’s 95th birthday.
“Beautiful afternoon in the Oval Office today with a few great American HEROES!” Trump said in a tweet featuring a clip of his original interaction with Jones, as well as video from his time with the veterans and their families on Thursday.
Alongside Jones were Floyd Wigfield, Sidney Walton and Paul Kriner — each over the age of 100.
According to The Virginian-Pilot, 101-year-old Wigfield was, like Jones, lucky enough to also be granted a p**********l promise. He has requested to ride on Air Force One this June following the 75th-anniversary celebration of the successful Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
“We’ll work that out,” Trump said, adding, “You’ll like Air Force One.”
The president also expressed gratitude to the men for their service and bravery, referring to their day as one in which America “knew how to win wars” and lauding them and their peers as “great heroes, great warriors, highly respected.”....

I don't think Donald Trump would've made a great soldier, or sailor, or marine, or airman, so I don't get greatly offended when the left pokes fun at his lack of service (unless the words are coming from that piece of dung Senator Richard Blumenthal). But I believe with all my heart that when he honors our service members (active duty or veterans) he does it sincerely. I believe that President Trump is proud to be the CIC of America's Armed Forces, and that he's doing everything in his power to reverse the years of disrespect and neglect of the previous administration. I'd love to see someone poll just the military to see what the President's favorability rating might be. And on the same poll, ask a question or 2 about Obama.

And that's why it won't happen. Credible deniability. What you don't ask you can credibly deny knowledge of.
