First Liberty



 Today, First Liberty Institute filed a preliminary injunction in
federal court on behalf of our client, Shields of Strength:

Our petition seeks to stop the Department of Defense (DoD) from
enforcing its discriminatory policy which prevents Shields of Strength
from producing and distributing its military themed replica dog tags
and jewelry with encouraging Bible verses.

We argue that there's no legal reason for the DoD to
discriminate against Shields of Strength. Our petition states:

"Because of the DoD's ever escalating religious hostility,
SoS is no longer able to provide replica dog tags even upon request of
service members or the military units in which they serve. A
preliminary injunction is necessary to correct the DoD's
unconstitutional discrimination against religious viewpoints, to stop
impeding religious exercise, and to maintain the status quo while this
case is pending."

For over 20 years, this Christian company has graciously provided dog
tags with inspirational Scriptures to active-duty service members,
veterans and their families.

These Scripture-inscribed dog tags are a source of reassurance, a
symbol of sacrifice and a tangible reminder of the strength gained
through their faith.

It's a cruel insult to deny our service members a source of hope
and encouragement simply because it contains a religious message.

Banning Shields of Strength's dog tags isn't just harsh
and unkind-it's outright unlawful. The fact is, it's
constitutional for Americans who love their country to encourage
military members with inspirational religious messages.

Please join First Liberty as we fight for the rights of our veterans
and service members: [link removed]

They need YOUR support to help put a stop to the barrage of violations
against their religious liberty-including their constitutional
right to wear religious jewelry and find strength in their faith.
