 Vets for Freedom
is proud to announce its support of Allen West for United
States Congress in the 22nd District of
Florida. With a 20 year career as an officer in the Army, LTC
West proudly served with distinction in Operation Desert Storm,
Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation Enduring Freedom, earning a
Bronze Star, three Meritorious Service Medals, three Army
Commendation Medals (one with Valor), and a Valorous Unit
Award. Vets for Freedom applauds Allen's commitment
to continue his public service as a member of the United States
House of Representatives.
As a proud Army veteran of Iraq, I am humbled to speak
on behalf of over 25,000 members of Vets for Freedom in
offering our strong endorsement of Allen West for United States
Congress," said Vets for Freedom Co-Chairman, David
Bellavia. "Few people know true commitment like those who lead
men under the fires of battle. Allen West is man who has never
taken the easy way out. He does what is right because it is
right. And if my two sons were to go to war, I would want a
man of Allen West's character and dedication to lead
them."
Bellavia continued, "This is an American who puts
patriotism over party - a man who places honor over personal
privilege. Allen West is a true American patriot and proud
defender of God, Country and Family. Washington needs more
men like Allen West, and I am proud to offer the support of
Vets for Freedom. I know leadership... there are men
who talk like Allen West... and then there is Allen West."
Vets for Freedom is a nonpartisan organization
established by combat veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
