Army Staff Sgt. (ret.) David Bellavia failed in his challenge to Rep. Chris Collins in the 2012 GOP primary, but his chances look good for a 2020 rematch:

It’ll be a pleasant surprise if he turns out to be Republican!

Bump.

I seriously doubt this guy will become a lib.

He stood toe to toe with pure evil. That leaves a imprint that doesn’t fade away.
Thank you soldier, Godspeed in your endeavors....

Excuse me? You think you know this man? Far from it, he is a personal friend and one of the most humble men I know.

He didn’t want this MOH unless his men were with him. WE raised 50K to get his men there to be with him.

This is not about one man, it is about them all. David lost 37 men in one year, he lost 3 commanders, leadership was thrown in his lap and he ran with it and killed 4 men, one he had to stab in the throat.David was badly bleeding and injured yet he went on to shoot another insurgent knocking him off a balcony and on to the ground.

David is my friend, you go after him you go thru me first.

“...if asked, by my country, I will effing kill and destroy anything set in my path.” ...”

Sounds great... except that eventually the commielib democrats will seize control again.

What happens when THEY “ask” him regarding us?

Wow, I’ve had great friends in my life. But I’ve never had one as awesome as that!

I hope he wins in his bid for Congress. I’d vote for him in a nanosecond flat!

In every congressional election, I’m always hoping America votes in ten real men, in addition to all the wannabes we already have.

But I get the feeling that with David Bellavia, ONE of him would be like having TEN REAL MEN on top of all those others.

President Trump could get so much more done.

Bellavia could probably whither your a$$ down to a burnt out stump with just one look, lol! I’d like to see those panzies in Congress try to stand up to him! A lot tried. A lot died.

I asked him if he was going to run, his answer:
Rus if asked to serve, I will serve.
He will win this election hands down, if he does run.

It’s always been the jerk party leaders that stood in his way and blocked him.
This time around there are 4 of my friends wanting to run.
If Bellavia is in they will all get out, if not they will be destroyed.

I’m getting good at translating Democrat-ese.

Most idiotic post on Bellavia I have ever read. You have absolutely no clue as to who you think he is, educate yourself before you once again embarrass yourself.

Sgt. Bellavia served with the 1st. Infantry Division. I believe the image you're speaking of is of a US Marine.

I read Sgt. Bellavia’s auto biography when it first came out. The action he received the MOH for was harrowing beyond belief. In all of military histories and personal stories of veterans I have heard from veterans themselves and written accounts I don't think I've ever read anything as intense as that.

“Bellavia is running for Congress.”
No, he’s not. He ran a few years ago and lost. Repubs do not get elected in New York State.

But he has my respect. Anyone who would pull out his Gerber Multitool and kill an enemy combatant with it after running out of ammo, is a determined hero in my eyes.

West of Buffalo would be Canada.

All MOH recipients have truly heroic action citations.

That is why they receive the MOH, the highest award for Valor.

Sgt Bellavia is truly a United States Fighting man, and deserving of his MOH.

The MOH citations are truly moving.For an example, look up SST Roy benevidez's citation.

Here it is if you have a little time to read.

OK, I blew this one. But, if you strike a north-south line that passes through the center of Buffalo, you will observe that the 27th Congressional District extends west of Buffalo except where Canada is. This district can also be found north of Buffalo, east of Buffalo, and south of Buffalo. A better word choice would have been, around.

The more important fact is that Bellavia is not running for that seat, I was misinformed. The district in R+11 on the Cook Partisan Index and the incumbent is a Republican.
