During his entrance to his nomination acceptance speech during Thursday evening's closing night of the Republican National Convention, a very special tribute was given to a fallen hero as former President Donald Trump took the stage.
Firefighter, husband, father and hero Corey Comperatore's fireman's jacket was wheeled on stage beside Trump as he greeted the audience.
