We received a call on Tuesday that broke our hearts, yet again. Another armed forces member has taken his own life as a result of Biden’s unlawful and obscene pressure for service members to take the COVID jabs.
Don’t let Joe Biden kick committed Christians out of the military. Help us DEFEND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM!

One of the chaplain plaintiffs in our class action lawsuit, Navy SEAL 1 v. Austin, called with heartbreaking news: Another military member committed suicide. The chaplain had just returned from the funeral.
The chaplain affirmed his religious exemption request was sincere. He refused to take the jabs due to their link with abortion. He leaves behind a grieving wife and young child. This is the second suicide that our plaintiffs have recently confirmed to be related to the pressure to get the shots.
Just before Christmas, we lost another service member in the same predicament, causing another of our plaintiffs to comment that the Biden administration’s “heavy-handed COVID shot policy now has killed more Marines than has the actual COVID-19 sickness.”
“The policy of separating conscientious and religious objectors contributed to my friend’s decision to end his life,” said Jonathan*, a friend of the Marine who died in December. Chaplain Timothy* had nearly identical words for the soldier who ended his life last week.
THESE DEATHS ARE AVOIDABLE … if the Biden administration would simply follow the law.
The First Amendment guarantees religious freedom, even for military members. The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) doubled down on that guarantee.
The Biden administration seems to have a serious problem with obeying the law, let alone preserving, protecting and defending the Constitution.
The Biden administration also seems to have a serious problem obeying the judiciary, a co-equal branch of government intended to keep lawmakers and the military from going rogue and destroying constitutional liberties.
Multiple courts have now issued individual injunctions against Biden’s military shot orders, but Biden has yet to back down. In our class action lawsuit, DOD attorneys even tried to tell federal Judge Steven Merryday that the courts have no authority to uphold the law!
Chaplain Timothy* tells us these members are “anguished at the thought of a choice between the COVID shot and their deeply held, sincere religious beliefs that receiving the COVID shot would be a grave sin.”
Don’t let Joe Biden kick committed Christians out of the military. Help us DEFEND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM!
To date, we have received formal requests for legal assistance from more than 730 service members from all branches. And more roll in every day.
We need your help. Liberty Counsel never charges for our legal work. Few people could afford to defend themselves against a government gone mad. But the madness of this Biden administration has strained our resources, and they have no intention of giving up any time soon.
Pray for these brave heroes, many of whom are struggling to hang on to hope that the freedom they fight for will be preserved for them as well.
