Thanks for Standing Up

I would like to thank Congressman Walter Jones and my Congressman Robert Pittenger for standing up in favor of military chaplains and religious freedoms. On June 14th Congressman Jones's first proposal passed by voice vote in the House Armed Services Committee as an amendment, that would allow military chaplains to close their prayers as they see fit, ensuring that they are not denied their constitutional right to religious freedom. Congressman Jones has been a longtime leader in the fight for religious freedom in the military and represents many of our Soldiers living in the coastal area of North Carolina.

“I know of multiple chaplains who have been reprimanded for closing their prayers ‘in Jesus’ name,’” said Jones. “This provision is absolutely necessary to prevent the constitutional rights of these individuals from being trampled in the future. Military chaplains provide an invaluable service to our men and women in uniform, and their work should not be hindered by a blatant disregard for religious freedom.”

Feel free to send him an email of thanks at https://jones.house.gov/contact-me/email-me.

Thanks and God Bless!
