Former President Donald Trump met a Vietnam veteran on Friday who was inspired to give Trump his Purple Heart after an assassination attempt on Trump.

"I couldn’t think of anybody more deserving of a Purple Heart," the man, identified only as Dwight, told Trump on stage during a town hall campaign event in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

"You took it. You laid down there. You got back. And the first words out of your mouth were ‘Fight, fight, fight,’" Dwight said of when Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July by a 20-year-old attempted assassin.

"You didn’t even have anything to shoot back at him. You got guts. It was a minor wound, but it was close to being a terrible one."

The moment came one day before Trump returned to Butler to hold a massive rally for the first time in the outdoor space where he was shot.

"As I was saying," Trump began Saturday's rally to cheers.

A Purple Heart is given to service members who have been wounded or killed in combat.
