00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.753
This 104 year old man was just awarded
the World War II Medal of Victory

2
00:00:03.753 --> 00:00:04.963
just to be nice.

3
00:00:04.963 --> 00:00:06.047
In a press conference,

4
00:00:06.047 --> 00:00:10.010
the VA justified the award, claiming
Deacon technically did survive the war,

5
00:00:10.051 --> 00:00:14.014
just not on the battlefield,
but rather as a factory worker in Iowa,

6
00:00:14.014 --> 00:00:15.765
and that he still has
many of the same ailments

7
00:00:15.765 --> 00:00:18.935
that actual veterans suffer
from due to his unhealthy lifestyle.

8
00:00:19.144 --> 00:00:22.981
We even got him one of those fancy hats
to make the awards seem more legitimate.

9
00:00:23.064 --> 00:00:25.984
The VA says if the public
truly doesn't approve of the award.

10
00:00:25.984 --> 00:00:29.529
They'll just remove it from his body
when he inevitably dies in a few weeks.
