Dear  John,

"Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One died for your soul, the
other died for your freedom."

These are the profound words inscribed on the face of a very special
veterans memorial in Monument, Colorado.

A privately funded memorial planned and built over the course of two
years by sixteen-year-old Michael Carson as an Eagle Scout project to
honor two generations of veterans in his family.

A memorial Michael described upon completion as "a dream come
true" is now being described as "a wretched dumpster
fire" by a notorious anti-faith group attempting to get the
memorial torn down.

Yes, you read that right. A wretched dumpster fire.

the memorial-for more background on this despicable attack and
how we're fighting back:

Obviously, we refuse to stand for such an outrageous disgrace of our
nation's veterans.

These are our nation's heroes-men and women who answered
the call to defend and protect, to risk their lives for the sake of
our freedom.

They deserve the highest honor, respect, and recognition for their
service and sacrifice.

Calling displays of such respect and gratitude a "wretched
dumpster fire" just because they include religious references is
the highest form of dishonor and disgrace I can imagine.

Well I assure you now-this attack will fail. We will not let
rogue anti-faith groups get away with dishonoring our nation's
courageous military heroes.

So, what can you do?

We've saved numerous memorials under similar attack from being
torn down-including at the Supreme Court with the Bladensburg
Veterans Memorial.

But we need YOUR SUPPORT to make sure this memorial is saved as well.

Please donate to First Liberty today, to help us fight religious
hostility as we champion TRUE equality that doesn't leave out
religious Americans.

I can't think of many better ways to celebrate Memorial Day than
by joining other patriots across the nation to save a
sixteen-year-old's tender tribute to our nation's fallen
heroes.

Together, with your faithful support, we will defeat this disgraceful
attack and preserve the honor of those who made possible the freedoms
we enjoy today-Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.

Yes, I will make a gift today!

Wishing you a blessed Memorial Day,
