Last night Allen West was bestowed the 2013 Freedom Flame Award by the Center for Security Policy at the Union League Club in Manhattan.  Richard M. Scaife was awarded the Terry Elkes Sacred Honor award but was unfortunately not able to attend the ceremony.

I was so very honored to be invited and to have the opportunity to meet Allen West.  He was the most friendly, humble and down-to-earth person you can imagine.  A true soldier and patriot. I asked him if he would please run for president and he said, 'If I am called I will answer.'
