“I sort of spent my life defending America,” Sam Faddis, president of Pennsylvania Patriot Coalition, told The Epoch Times at the Southeastern Pennsylvania GOP unity meeting in Philadelphia on Dec. 9.
Having grown up in a military family with a naval officer father and then serving in the Army and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Mr. Faddis said he recognized, after retirement, the dual threats facing the nation—external and internal. Two years ago, he founded the Pennsylvania Patriot Coalition, a collective of about 100 patriot groups across the state.
