Over 2,600 hours of military flight time and 1,000 hours of pilot instruction time went down the tubes. Read on to learn why Sean*, a highly decorated, 20-year Naval Commander will not be flying for the Navy anymore.  

I will never stop fighting for heroes like Sean. I presented oral argument at the Court of Appeals on Wednesday defending our preliminary injunction for a Lt. Colonel of the Marines and a Commander of a Navy Surface Warship against Biden’s unlawful quest to push committed Christians and religious faithful from the military. Please pray for the case. One judge was very hostile and mistaken about the actual facts of the case. I will update you when we receive a ruling.
 
And we go to trial in January on our classwide preliminary injunction on behalf of the Marines. We have a lot on our plate. And below, I’ll explain the vote in the Senate last night. — Mat

We need YOUR help right now to defend the brave service members being unlawfully denied their religious freedom rights. Act before midnight on New Year’s Eve in your time zone to have a special MILLION-DOLLAR CHALLENGE GRANT double the impact of your donation. Our nation’s heroes need YOU. Please give generously today.

Sean has proudly served his country for 19 years as a Seahawk helicopter pilot. During that time, he has logged 2,600 flight hours, including time spent in war-torn hot zones like Syria and Iraq. Sean has earned every advanced flight instructor and tactical qualification available to him while serving in the Navy and has even logged over 1,000 hours as a flight instructor.

With nearly 20 years of service under his belt, Sean was looking forward to retirement in September of 2022. But when Joe Biden announced his COVID shot mandates in 2021, the Department of Defense (DOD) decided Sean would not be allowed to retire honorably until he was fully “vaccinated.”

Sean has always kept himself in excellent health in order to continue flying. He says, “Throughout my entire flying career, I cannot recall a single time where I was ‘sick in quarters,’ resulting in missed flying or impacts to my job, related to any medical illness.”

Or at least that was the case until Sean was forced to take COVID shots.

“Up until my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine, I was a healthy, 5’9”, 155 lb., 41-year-old aviator,” says Sean. But all that changed after taking his second COVID shot. “Unfortunately, I am one of many members across the DOD who are now recovering from adverse effects, directly linked to the mRNA vaccine, specifically the Pfizer vaccine authorized under the Emergency Use Authorization Act.”

Shortly after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer mRNA shot, Sean’s chest began to tighten. Heart palpitations beat against his breastbone at an alarming rate. Breathing suddenly became extremely difficult.

Sean was driving his two young children to the beach the day the symptoms occurred. It was to be a long-awaited and welcome break for the family that had endured so much separation while their father was at war. But the COVID shot would dictate a quite different day.

As Sean drove, he felt his heart begin to pound. His chest was so tight he could barely breathe. Sean’s vision began to blur, and he knew he was very near the point of losing consciousness behind the wheel with his family in the car. Praise God, Sean was able to pull over and avoid a catastrophe.

After being rushed to the hospital, Sean was informed that he was experiencing myocarditis—a side effect to the mRNA vaccines that even the DOD has known about since last year.

On June 29, 2021, the Defense Health Agency published a report in the highly respected Journal of the American Medical Association-Cardiology (JAMA) titled “Myocarditis Following Immunization With mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines in Members of the U.S. Military.”

The study reports that numerous previously healthy service members developed myocarditis, a severe and life-threatening inflammation of the heart within just four days of receiving their first shot of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna jabs.

Just one day later, Dr. Matthew Oster, who serves on Biden’s CDC COVID-19 task force, was forced to admit that the shots are causing myocarditis in “young men aged 16-30,” adding, “It does appear that mRNA vaccines may be a new trigger for Myocarditis.” Since that time, numerous scientific reports have confirmed that the COVID jabs are causing often irreparable physical harm.

Sean is still “grounded,” unable to fly thanks to the Pfizer jab. He still suffers from chest pain, breathing difficulties and dizziness ... and Sean’s doctors do not know if he will ever get better.

Joe Biden’s DOD is still trying to unlawfully force service members to take the COVID drugs that SKIPPED the 7-10 years of safety testing normally required for all vaccines.

Liberty Counsel is fighting this lawless regime and their dangerous mandates. Class action certification and preliminary injunctions have now been secured for the Air Force, Space Force, Navy and Marines. We continue to fight for permanent protection for these armed forces members. And in January, our case defending the Marines will go to trial. Please be in prayer for a positive result.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden is not giving up his unlawful ways. Nor, despite the losses stacking up against him, is Biden giving up on fighting our case tooth and nail.

BREAKING: Military shot mandate update!

Last night, the US Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with a House amendment that requires the military shot mandate be repealed. Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) amendment to restore the rights and rank of those who have already been punished was rejected. Our litigation will continue because the DOD’s punishment of service members must be permanently stopped. I will provide further updates.

Our special $1,000,000 year-end Challenge Grant has been established to DOUBLE THE IMPACT of every donation made between now and December 31 in your time zone. Please, give today.

Please also be in prayer for the soldiers, sailors, airman, guardsmen and Marines injured and adversely affected by these lawless mandates.
