Lieutenant Colonel Allen West earns our distinguished “Patriot Of The Day” award for this speech he gave last year. For those who don’t know, he is a decorated war hero who’s served with distinction in combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is also running for Congress in 2010 in Florida’s Congressional District 22.
Allen’s personal story is a testament to the commonsense conservative belief that our nation’s greatness is rooted in freedom, because with freedom comes equal opportunity, and that, coupled with hard work, leads to success.
