The TikTok video was posted in late March, but it continues to go viral and be spread across multiple social media platforms and receive hundreds of thousands (if not perhaps millions) of views. The reason why is simple: it’s awesome.
An Ohio WWII vet is gearing up to celebrate his 104th birthday, and in the video, which was taken by a family friend, he sports his red MAGA hat as he requests none other than President Donald Trump to attend.

The man clearly has a lot of spunk left in him despite his advanced age.
He told the president, "I got to vote for you again, and I hope I get to vote for you some more."
Allison Dudley, a friend of Moore’s family, filmed and uploaded the veteran’s message to the social media platform. Towards the end of the clip, she made her own pitch to Trump, saying, "He’s a World War II veteran – Army Air Corps. You should come and visit him. He wants you here for his birthday."
Moore lives at Danbury Senior Living facility in Massilon, a town just south of Cleveland.
Moore is a great American story: he worked hard, served his country, became a family man, and loves the U.S. of A.
Moore grew up on a farm in Noble County, Ohio, and worked at Hercules Engine Co. before he was drafted into service in 1942, After the war, he became a U.S. Postal Service worker and raised a family, according to The Repository.
His son, Rich, told News 5 Cleveland that he hopes the veteran’s birthday wish comes true. "If this makes him happy, then great. Whatever it takes."
Moore’s wish was inspired by his deep patriotism. "It’s a wonderful country," he said. "I’m glad God gave us the United States."

“He’s the best president I ever lived under,” Moore says in the interview. After Powers said it would be great if the president showed up, Moore said with a grin, “Yeah, come on Trump!”
His good cheer has earned him lots of fans at his living facility:
Danbury Senior Living executive director Kelli Beckler spoke highly of Moore, telling local outlet, The Canton Repository, "We all really enjoy having Denver as one of our residents here. We love hearing his stories. He's a great historian and storyteller, and it's a real honor to be able to be a part of this with him."
I, along with many others on the internet, urge the president to make Denver Moore’s birthday a special one by stopping by to congratulate him. How great would that be?
Moore’s birthday is May 15th, but the party is scheduled for May 17th. I hope RedState will have some good news to report on that day.
