A few months ago Mike Brink tasked me with the job of finding a worthy recipient of a Blue Ray Scramble Seawolves ----- think about that for a second ----- who would you pick --- seriously !!!! Perhaps Mike Louy and the "Goat Lips Gang" in Pensacola gave me the first indirect direction. Last Tuesday I had the distinct privilege of attending a Young Republican meeting (no age comments needed here please) where the guest speaker was past Florida Representative Allen West LT Col (ret) . This man is, in person,is even more impressive than on any You Tube ------ you need to hear him !!! Afterward, I waited to nearly last in line ----- "Does anyone ever give you something?" I asked as he signed my book. "What do you mean?" ..... "Well, you are a excellent historian with a military interest , here is something for you" and I presented him first with our Legislative Resolution, followed by the copy of our Blue Ray that Mike (why is it Allen is the only one that isn't a Mike in here ?) Brink had sent me ---- and followed that with one of our Challenge coins . Hopefully he will have the time to watch it --- I'm pretty sure he will. The next day he was in Odessa Tx, 400 miles + to the west for another Republican meeting in Odessa for lunch -------- At 58, perhaps he is looking at 2024 ---- Lord, I hope so
