Allen West, who has announced his candidacy as a Republican candidate for Governors in 2022, plans to speak at the wall this afternoon between 4 and 5 p.m. at the Vietnam mobile memorial wall, The Wall That Heals, located on Sulphur Springs High School Track.
“This is not a political event and I just learned of the exact time he would be here. I spoke to him this morning to verify he was coming and he said he would be here at 4 p.m. He told me he was coming as a respectful soldier and was not trying to make it a political event. I told him there were a lot of folks in Hopkins County that would like to meet him. He told me this was not about him, but he would love to meet the folks so I could get the word out and he would see them this afternoon. If you want to meet Lt. Col. Allen West (Ret.) and Republican candidate for Governor of Texas, come out to The Wall this afternoon between 4 and 5 p.m.,” Donnie Wisenbaker, Hopkins County GOP Chairman, stated in a release just before lunch Friday, Nov. 5, 2021.
