<p>A World War II veteran commanded a standing ovation during his Wednesday night speech at the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/republican-national-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republican National Convention</a> (RNC), saying that he believed the America he once fought for was still worth fighting for.</p>
<p>Sgt. William Pekrul, a D-Day survivor and veteran of the Battle of the Bulge, told the crowd that he had once kissed the ground upon returning to the United States — and expressed his sorrow at what President Joe Biden and his administration had done to the nation he loved.</p>

<p>&#8220;America, people say, America is an idea. But I believe that America is much more than that. America is our home.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/91r5ArMAlK">pic.twitter.com/91r5ArMAlK</a></p>

<p>&#8220;There aren’t many of us still here, but for us – those of us who are still here, that America is still worth fighting for,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It hurts my heart to see what our current president and vice president have done to the country that I love so well.&#8221;</p>
<p>He went on to list several major military failures that have happened under Biden&#8217;s watch, from the withdrawal from Afghanistan to the porous southern border.</p>

<p>&#8220;America, people say, is an idea. But I believe America is much more than that. America is our home,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>He went on to talk about his own experiences fighting for his country, and nearly brought the house down when he said that even at 98 years old, he would enlist again if former President Donald Trump were returned to the post of Commander in Chief.</p>
