President Trump spoke at the Annual American Legion Convention today in Reno, Nevada.
This was after his rousing speech in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday night.

Donald Ballard threw himself on a grenade during the Vietnam War to save his comrades.
President Trump asked the American hero to say a few words.
That’s when Donald Ballard said this:
“There is no greater love than someone who loves this country. And I believe we’ve elected the right leader to lead us out to drain the swamp.”
The American Legion crowd LOVED IT!
