America’s 250^th: LTC Allen West Available for Independence Day Segments

Military Veteran and Constitutional Leader Offers Timely Perspective on America’s Past, Present, and Future

As Americans celebrate Independence Day and begin commemorating our nation’s 250th anniversary, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Allen B. West is available for television, radio, podcast, and print interviews to discuss the enduring significance of America’s founding, the sacrifices made to preserve our freedoms, and why defending constitutional principles remains essential today.

A decorated combat veteran, former Member of Congress, and Executive Director of the American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU) and its veterans’ organization, the Committee to Support and Defend (CSD), LTC West brings a compelling perspective on patriotism, military service, civic responsibility, and the principles that have made America the world’s greatest beacon of freedom for nearly two and a half centuries.

LTC West Available to Discuss:

• America’s 250th Anniversary: Why this milestone matters, and what Independence Day should mean to Americans today
• Why LTC West chose to serve and defend the United States, and the sacrifices made by generations of servicemen and women to preserve our freedoms
• The Constitution as America’s guiding document – and why it must continue to be defended
• How the American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU) and the Committee to Support and Defend (CSD) are carrying that mission forward by defending constitutional freedoms, supporting veterans, and encouraging active citizenship by getting involved.

Why This Segment Matters:

As the nation reflects on 250 years of freedom, Americans are asking important questions about our history, our founding ideals, and the responsibilities that come with liberty. LTC West offers a compelling, firsthand perspective rooted in military service, constitutional leadership, and a lifelong commitment to defending the principles upon which America was founded.

“America’s 250th anniversary is more than a celebration of our history – it’s a call to remember that freedom is never guaranteed. Every generation has the responsibility to understand, preserve, and defend the constitutional principles that have made America the greatest nation the world has ever known.”  – Lt. Col. Allen B. West (Ret.)
