100-Year-Old Veteran Breaks Down Crying: "This is Not The Country We Fought For"

Carl Spurlin Dekel has seen a lot in his life, and now he can add another milestone memory.

On Wednesday, June 29, his family and friends gathered to honor the service, sacrifice, and centennial of the World War II veteran in Plant City.

"Most important thing in my life was serving my country. I don't think I could take away from that," Dekel said.

[...] In the many years since Dekel left the military, he has continued to make service his life mission, donating to food banks and participating in his church community.

[...] "People don’t realize what they have," Dekel said, showing his emotions. "The things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it’s all gone down the drain."

"We haven’t got the country we had when I was raised, not at all," he said, being brought to tears. "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 our boys, that’s not what they died for."
