Quote by Allen West
A person like myself, born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta

A person like myself, born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia, to lower-middle-class parents. But I had the opportunity to get an education, to go and earn a commission in the United States Army, to serve for 22 years, to lead men and women in combat. – Allen West
