Join the Committee to Support and Defend!
Our military is in trouble. As an all-volunteer force, our military men and women choose to step forward to defend our freedoms. Now, with record inflation and weak support from the federal government, it’s up to us to volunteer in similar fashion to help our servicemembers, their families and our veterans.
By joining the Committee to Support and Defend, you are directly supporting their needs.
100% of your tax-deductible membership dues go directly to support programs. Thanks to the generous support from other donors, we are blessed to invest every penny of membership fees into direct support initiatives.
Please consider joining the Committee today for just $17.75 per year.
Why 1775? That is when our armed forces were officially founded!
CSD UPDATES & MILITARY NEWS
Trump Needs a Command Sergeant Major
I think the element former President Trump needs to acquire is a sense of self-discipline.
Betrayal
If this is the way the progressive socialist leftists are going to treat members of our military, who would want to serve?
Trust Hamas? YGTBSM
Why would anyone trust Hamas or any Islamic terrorist organization? History tells us why we should not.
Please Come Home for Christmas
The US military is asking troops that they wrongfully discharged to, well, please come back. The Biden administration is calling a "mulligan" and asking these discharged troops to return.
Giving Thanks for Conspicuous Gallantry
There is something unique about America that enables us to live in this incredible country, this Constitutional Republic, where we can give thanks. I do not consider it coincidental that we have Thanksgiving in the same month we honor our veterans.
“The” vs. “These”
We often hear people say "the United States of America." I would offer that is not the correct way of referring to our nation. The correct way would be "these United States of America."
URGENT UPDATES
Sign This Petition: It’s Time to End DEI and Woke Politics in Our Military!

LTC Allen West, Executive Director, Committee to Support and Defend
As America faces looming threats from “foreign” adversaries/enemies, our military is under assault from a culture war stemming from “domestic” ideologically inspired political policies and practices. If not stopped now, these policies will forever change the military’s warrior ethos essential to performing its mission of deterring aggression and, failing that, fighting and winning our Nation’s wars. Our military must be laser-focused on one mission — readiness, undiminished by the culture war engulfing our country.
I speak from experience. I come from a legacy of combat service in defense of this nation — four generations of my family are combat veterans. I, myself served in the U.S. military and continued my public service as a Member of the U.S. Congress and held a seat on the House Armed Services Committee. I bring this history of service to bear when I say this divisive policy must end.
As the Executive Director of the Committee to Support and Defend (CSD) — America’s constitutional conservative veterans organization — I stand alongside tens of thousands of CSD’s veteran service members who respectfully request that Congress, pursuant to its constitutional powers “…to raise and support Armies…” and “… to provide and maintain a Navy…,” take legislative action to remove all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs from the Department of Defense (DoD). Additionally, we ask that you ensure that no DEI-related policies, programs, or funding are included in the 2024 NDAA.
