The Allen West Family
It is my profound honor, and undeserved privilege, to present this months featured Patriot of the Month at the Thompson Coalition. It has been
a blessing to have conversed on two occasions, through email, with Lieutenant Colonel Allen B. West (US Army, Ret). In reading candidate
West’s emails, reviewing his web site, and reading articles about this contemporary American hero, I feel a sense of profound gratitude. I
struggle to put into words how this man of strength, conviction, and humbleness has touched my life from three thousand miles away. His words
and sincerity stir me to strive at being a better man. Allen West possesses every quality of a true Patriot and a leader among men.

A recent guest on my talk show
reminded me of just how simple
the test really is to help decide for
whom to cast a vote. My guest
was Allen West (Lt. Col., US
Army, Retired). He came into the
national spotlight after he took
decisive action during the 2003
interrogation of a turncoat Iraqi
police officer. While an infantry
battalion commander, LTC West
fired a pistol near the head of
Officer Yahya Jhodri Hamoody,
who had been passing American
military information to Iraqi
insurgent terror cells.
The treasonous Hamoody decided
that he did not want to meet Allah
that day after all, and spewed out
enough information that LTC
West and his battalion were then
able to shut down two terrorist
cells and stop the attacks in their
Area of Responsibility. Normally,
military officers, especially those
in the "combat arms" specialties
are fully expected to be brave,
resourceful, and decisive.
(Indeed, when he was in combat
in Iraq the first time, during
Operation Desert Storm, as an
artillery fire-control officer, West
had won the Bronze Star for
decisive actions that saved a
nearby unit that was pinned down
under enemy fire.)
“Having a Dad who was a WW II Vet, a Mom who worked 25 years as a civilian employee of a Marine
Corps Headquarters in Atlanta, an older Brother who was a Vietnam Marine, and a young Nephew who
is an Airborne Captain at Ft. Bragg lays the foundation of what it means to be a West, service to
America. In my 22 years of service in the US Army I came to know and understand just what a blessing
it is to wear the uniform and defend the Constitution of the greatest Nation on earth, our America.
Therefore, with sincere humility and love of Country, God has touched my heart to seek to serve
America once more, just in a different uniform.”
Behind this great Patriot is a beautiful wife and children that sacrificed without their husband and
father while Allen served in Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. The sacrifices this family made for the
security of America and the freedom of an oppressed Iraqi people is priceless. We are grateful beyond
words. We appreciate your strength through difficult military separations.
There are people in government that want to preach and harp
about what is wrong with America. But they offer little, if any,
solutions. Allen West, however, knows that we have things that
need to be fixed or made better and brings solutions rather than
complaining. Here are a few topics Allen West believes are vital
to preserving our American Heritage:
Energy Independence; The National Debt; Illegal Immigration;
Israel; Education; Iraq. You will find these on Allen’s “Issues”
page at his web site.

“Our Republic is at a defining moment in its 232 year history. We face
so many threats, foreign and domestic, but through it all, we shall find
a way to victory. We must recommit ourselves to our basic foundational
beliefs as Conservatives, and as the Republican party. We must restore
the sense of individual responsibility and accountability in our America.
We must reconcile our legislators to realizing that the Federal
Government exists to protect the individual American life, liberty and
pursuit of happiness. Anything beyond establishing justice, ensuring
domestic tranquility, providing for the welfare of our citizens, providing
for the common defense, and securing the blessings of liberty are
outside the mandates of our government.

Now is the time to elect those who understand selfless service,
not self serving special interest agendas. It is time to look to
leaders, not petty usurpers who only tout election cycle politics
and empty rhetoric, not visionary leadership. It is time for
solutions, not blatant disregard of the will of the American
people. It is time of Americans to stand proud, not bathe
themselves in self loathing.

I have only one goal, to serve this America and ensure the legacy
of our Republic endures for our children and grandchildren. That
will require Courage, Competence, and Character, traits which
have been handed down to me from wonderful parents, and
steadfast Faith, of which Almighty God has blessed me.
