The Blog 100 Percent Fed Up has the report and the video (above):
President Trump spoke at a ceremony
to congratulate Gen. Mark Milley on becoming the new chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and then gave a huge bear hug to a wounded veteran.
Retired Army Capt. Luis Avila, who
was severely wounded by a bomb in 2011 in Afghanistan, was warmly embraced by
the president after the hero sang “God Bless America.”
The name Capt. Luis Avila was familiar to me. Cleveland Tea Party blogged on this veteran in July 2017:
Captain
Avila served several tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq and lost
his leg in an IED attack. This man was not expected to survive. He remains
largely paralyzed, he is in a wheelchair, but just watch this short video. He
can barely move his body, and yet he struggles mightily to salute, to literally
salute, his Commander-in-Chief, President Trump (at about 1:40) and to bow
in acknowledgement. It brought tears to my eyes. He is one of many
Americans who knows that we have a CiC who loves our country and honors our
veterans who defend our way of life.
There is another reason why I am posting this: the YouTube
video of this man saluting his CIC now displays this message:
Video unavailable
This video is no longer available
because the YouTube account associated with this video
has been terminated.
I don't know the reason, but I don't like it.
