Dear John,

I want to share with you something deeply troubling that is happening
at the highest levels of our military.

I feel like Paul Revere right now, riding through the streets of
Boston trying to sound the alarm bells-because tyranny has
arrived at our doorstep.

The Biden administration and some Pentagon officials are trampling on
the First Amendment and the rights of our service members in a way
that I've never witnessed before in my entire military career as
a Marine and almost two decades of practicing law.

I thought I had seen it all: Discrimination against chaplains and
religious military members, attacks on a Bible displayed on a POW/MIA
remembrance table, bans on inspirational replica dog tags from the
military-and even threats to tear down the Bladensburg WWI
Veterans Memorial.

But we've never had to file a class action lawsuit in order to
protect religious service members from career-ending threats.

Our brave service members need your help. Join the fight now »

The Biden administration created a crisis by targeting service members
with religious objections to the vaccine, and several of our Navy SEAL
clients are still being punished despite a federal court order telling
the Department of Defense it cannot take adverse action against them.

Service members who've requested legal, religious accommodations
are being denied deployment assignments, promotions, training, and
even life-saving healthcare. In many cases, they and their families
are restricted to base and must receive special permission to leave to
shop for basic necessities like groceries.

These are just some of the countless examples of service members being
bullied for wanting to live according to their faith and serve their
country.

Tell our Navy SEALs: "I'm standing with you!" »

The vindictive approach that some DoD officials persist on taking is
reprehensible. Our military is filled with people of faith and this
religious discrimination must stop. These punitive actions
aren't just outrageous.They are illegal.

Our Navy SEAL clients are American heroes who risk everything for us
by defending our country each and every day on the frontlines. And
right now, we have a chance to defend them as they face unprecedented
discrimination.

What I am asking you today is simple. Will you join me in defending
our brave heroes?

By supporting First Liberty right now, you are telling our Navy SEALs
that they are not alone in this fight. Together, we can stand up for
these brave military members and give them hope for victory.

Semper Fi,

Mike
