John 15:13 says, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” These service members have all agreed to voluntarily sacrifice and devote their entire lives by this truth, regardless of their personal cost or to their families who sacrifice in defense of this nation. They all have sworn an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and to sacrificially lay down their lives for their fellow citizens against enemies both foreign and domestic, and to preserve America’s freedom for the future.
Having sacrificed everything to defend America, the “land of the free and the home of the brave,” the Department of Defense continues to betray them with the worst punishment of dishonorable discharge. And for what cause? Simply because they seek an accommodation from the COVID-19 shots on account of their sincerely held religious beliefs.
As the Supreme Court has long affirmed, the heroes of the United States Armed Forces do not shed their constitutional rights at the moment of their sacrificial oath.
Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, “As we prepare to celebrate Independence Day, we must continue to fight for the freedom of those who protect us every day. No service member should be forced to choose between serving God and serving country. The Department of Defense continues to violate the law and ignore their religious freedom. This lawlessness must end.”
