First Liberty



This week, First Liberty received good news in our POW/MIA Remembrance
Bible Display case.

A federal court dismissed a lawsuit filed by the deceptively-named
Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF). The MRFF-an
outside group located more than 2000 miles away-sued to remove a
donated Bible displayed on a POW/MIA Remembrance Table at the VA
Medical Center in Manchester, New Hampshire. They even went so far as
to call the Bible on display "repugnant."

We're pleased the court dismissed the lawsuit, which means the
Bible stays and the Remembrance Table remains undisturbed. This
is a win for our clients, the Northeast POW/MIA Network, a private
organization of veterans and patriots from the New England area who
own and maintain the display.

What's more, this will help honor and preserve the memory of the
American war hero who donated the Bible, former U.S. Army Air Corps
Technical Sergeant (TSgt) Herman "Herk" Streitburger, of
Bedford, NH, who was held captive in a German Prisoner of War camp
during World War II.

While this is a favorable outcome, we remain cautious and vigilant.
The radical MRFF is infamous for attacking virtually any religious
expression in the military. It would not surprise us if they attempted
to find another way to defile this display.

If their harassment persists, First Liberty is ready to defend our
clients. Anyone who tries to threaten this POW/MIA Remembrance Table
will have to go through us.

Our military service members-including those who suffered in
captivity or went missing in action-pay a high price to keep us
safe and protect our freedoms. First Liberty is honored to stand with
the Northeast POW/MIA Network in its tireless efforts to honor and
remember our nation's heroes.

As we celebrate, we want to thank YOU. Your support helps keep First
Liberty's legal team on the frontlines of these important
battles. Thank you for being a Force Multiplier in the fight for
religious liberty.
