ACLJ Letter: Dog Tag Bible Verses Banned
We’re taking action to defend the interests of our brave soldiers who risk their lives to defend our freedom as soon as TODAY.
Our troops face unimaginable danger every day.
Some have chosen to wear dog tags engraved with Bible verses such as Joshua 1:9 (“Be strong and courageous . . . the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”) or Psalm 27:3 (“Though my enemies attack me, I will not fear . . . .”).
An anti-Christian group demanded that the military ban Bible verses on dog tags alongside military insignias.
Under pressure, the Army conceded, ordering its equipment supplier to strip “ALL biblical references” from dog tags and other military gear.
It’s an insult to our troops. We must defend those who defend us.
Our legal team is preparing a letter urging Army leadership to rescind this unconstitutional order.
And as soon as TODAY, we are filing a Freedom of Information Act request to find out exactly who is behind this ban.
Our soldiers lay their lives on the line for our freedom. They have the right to carry their faith close to their hearts.
Sign Our Petition: Don’t Ban Bible Verses in the Military.
