2007 Keeper of the Flame Award
Center for Security Policy | Oct 17, 2007
(Washington, D.C.): On Wednesday, the Center for Security Policy paid tribute to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) and Defenders of the Home Front – the men and women who work daily to keep us and our families safe here at home.
Senator Lieberman's address to the nearly 350 attendees at this elegant black-tie dinner held at Washington's landmark Union Station was preceded by a welcome from Mr. Linden Blue, Vice Chairman of General Atomics, and remarks by The Honorable Francis Fragos Townsend, White House Homeland Security Advisor. The Keeper of the Flame Awards were presented to Senator Lieberman by Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ), and to five outstanding representatives of Defenders of the Home Front by Senators Lieberman and Kyl.

Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser , Founder and Chairman of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD). Dr. Jasser exemplifies the sort of courageous, anti-Islamist Muslims sorely needed by this country and the world. Dr. Jasser was recently featured on Fox News during a special built around the film produced in part by the Center for Security Policy: "Islam vs. Islamists – Voices form the Muslim Center."

“I’ve come to know Chairman Hunter very well over the years, and I can tell you that those of us in the Department rely very heavily on his wisdom, his leadership, his experience and his “get it done” attitude. It is something when he comes into your office like a whirling dervish and starts discussing a subject first at the national level and then down at the microlevel, and then leaves you pieces of metal on your desk that you can hardly lift and has explained exactly where it goes, what it’s for, why it should be there and wants to know why it isn’t. And God bless him for it. (Applause.)
