100 Year Old Veteran Breaks Down in Tears at What America Has Become

‘The things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it’s all gone down the drain’
By Grabien Staff

TRANSCRIPT:

UNKNOWN: "I don't know. I've lived a good life. I mean, I've had a lot of love and happiness — happiness, smiling, telling everybody that everything was beautiful every day. If I ever went into my church and didn’t say everything was beautiful, they'd think I was sick. And I’m not that way. I sincerely believe, in this old world, that everything is beautiful. I mean, if i see — if I wake up in the morning and see these plants out here in nature, and all those flowers that are in there and the green grass on the ground, that’s beautiful. And people don’t realize what they have. They bitch about it. And then nowadays, I am so upset. The things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain. Our country is going to hell in a hand basket. We haven't got the country we had when I was raised, not at all. 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 my boys, that's not what they died for. I just -- it's just -- just not it. I'm so sorry. I'll be alright. It's just takes me time to get over it, but I just — I — why me sitting here like this? All that's going on, it's just not the same. That isn't what we fought for. Oh, well. I shouldn't be worried about it, I guess. I'm 100 years old, they say."
