Veterans In Politics National Endorsements!
1) Duncan Hunter - California's 52nd District United States Marine Corps Veteran. Marine Captain Duncan D. Hunter recently returned from serving his country in Afghanistan. This was his third tour of duty since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Captain Hunter was honorably discharged from active duty in December of 2007, and is now campaigning full time for the United States Congress. Duncan D. Hunter was born in San Diego and grew up in the 52nd District of California. (Visit: http://www.hunterforcongress.com/)
2) Charlie Summers - Maine's 1st District United States Navy Veteran. We support Charlie Summers for Congress, and why you should too. As veterans, we understand the commitment and courage it takes to go to war for your country. I'm sure you know that Charlie is currently serving in Iraq as a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy. Though running for Congress at home, he has answered his country's call to duty and is bravely fighting for the freedom of the Iraqi people and the safety and security of Americans here and abroad. This is the kind of person we want in Congress! Charlie has a strong record of fighting for his convictions. Whether in the sands of Iraq or the corridors of the Maine State Senate, he always fights the tough fights rather than coasting along the politically expedient path. With Congressional approval ratings at an all time low, we must send a person of character and a person of action to Washington. Charlie is just such a person. (Visit: http://summersforcongress.net/)
3) Allen West - Florida's 22nd District United States Army Veteran. Son of two great parents who were from South Georgia who instilled in me a drive for excellence and achievement. A philosophy if individual responsibility and accountability for your actions. Allen is from inner city Atlanta Ga. and attended Grady HS there. I went on to The University of Tennessee where I studied and earned my Commission as a Second Lieutenant in the US Army. Allen has had been enrolled in HS Jr ROTC and knew that my goal was to be an Army officer. Allen served 22 years Active Duty in the US Army retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel and settling down with my wife Angela and two daughters, Aubrey and Austen, to Plantation Florida. Along the way, I met the true Heroes of our Country, the Men and Women who take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. And that is an oath my Dad, older Brother, and Nephew took. (Visit: http://www.allenwestforcongress.com/about_allen.php)
4) William Russell – Pennsylvania's 12th District United States Army Veteran "Its a choice between a corrupt, long time Washington insider who is playing into the hands of the enemy and a new comer with 28 years of honorable Active and Reserve military service to this nation in war and peace.” “In this war against Islamic Radicalism, the political battle of the 2008 election in the Pennsylvania 12th Congressional District is a turning point of this war.” Lieutenant Colonel William T. Russell served in the US Army for 28 years of Active and Reserve service, including six tours in hostile fire zones. On the morning of September 11, 2001, he and his wife, Kasia, who was pregnant with their son at the time, were working in the Pentagon. Thankfully all escaped unharmed.

I started promoting his son, ‘D3’ on my blog so we won’t have to deal with another ‘Duncan Who’ for when he steps up to the political plate ;)
Good move!
