Dear John,

I just sat down with our Navy SEAL clients.

And I thought you would be really interested to hear what they had to say about the blatant religious discrimination they are facing.

Since their missions are some of the highest-level, top-secret operations, we have to conceal their identities while they remain our clients. But their trials and experiences while fighting for their freedoms are just too poignant not to share.

Flying in the face of a judge’s order preventing the harassment of these SEALs, the Navy continues to be punish, ostracize, humiliate, and even deny deployment opportunities—all because our clients want to serve according to their faith.

Here’s what the SEALs have told me in their own words:

“I’ve been yelled at. I’ve been kicked out of offices. They do not value my faith. They wish I didn’t have faith, because then I’d be easier to control.”

“It would be a violation of my religious beliefs and everything that is in my core...”

“I’m not going to sacrifice my beliefs, my values, my ethics, something I’ve worked so hard to achieve.”

The Biden administration and the Department of Defense have become their biggest threats—demanding that they give up their faith and freedom.

I’ll be honest John, none of these SEALs could have imagined that their most intense battle would come not from a warzone but rather from inside their own branch of service.

I am deeply moved by their commitment to serve our country and live out their religious convictions.

They have worked so hard and sacrificed their whole being for our safety and freedom. The least that we can do to repay them is to protect their freedoms.

They fought for us. Now I’m asking you to fight for them.

Today, you can have an even greater impact in protecting our Navy SEALs with your best gift.

Now through April 25th, every dollar you give is multiplied thanks to a special $500,000 Challenge Grant.

When you donate today, you are telling our Navy SEALs, “Together, we can win this fight. I fully support your decision to live out your faith while serving our country.”

Give now and help win the day for religious freedom and our heroes.

Yes! I’ll make a gift today »

Gratefully,

Mike
