Dear John,
When the brave men and women who serve in America’s military are on the frontlines of the fiercest battles, they often turn to their faith for courage.
It’s cruel...it’s harsh...and it’s appalling that right now an anti-faith activist group is attempting to deny our military heroes and their families of inspirational jewelry just because it has a religious message.

For service members, wearing Shields of Strength replica dog tags inscribed with inspirational Bible verses is how they’re able to find that courage. These small, yet significant Shields help them focus on their purpose. They are a source of strength that helps them stay in the fight.
As U.S. Air Force and Marine veteran, Kenneth Davis, has so movingly described:
“When you’re walking into combat, being shot at...you’re scared...This isn’t just a piece of metal. This is believing that you’re going to live. This is honor, dignity, and glory—it’s faith in your eternal security.”
While Kenneth and thousands of soldiers indeed cherish these Shields, there are also countless stories of military families who attach deep meaning to them.
It’s military mothers, fathers, spouses and siblings—many who’ve lost someone close to them—who remain connected to their loved one when they hold that beloved dog tag...such as Meghan Desanti, the sister of a fallen Marine who still wears her brother’s Shield and has said:
“If I couldn’t have this to remind me of my brother, I don’t know what I would do. Because, this is really him.”
Like Meghan and Kenneth, there are many other impact stories that are incredibly stirring...which is why we’re sharing the video below so that you can see and hear from several of our nation’s heroes and military family members who wear Shields of Strength:
Will you join forces with First Liberty today to help us reclaim the freedoms of our military heroes and win an important victory for Shields of Strength?
Donate today and stand boldly for the honor, dignity, and glory of our service members and their families. Every dollar counts.
Gratefully,
Kelly
