Our veterans provide the ultimate example of why we must defend freedom

Published



As president of Alliance Defending Freedom, I’m honored to lead an organization that employs veterans of every branch of the United States military who, among others here, continue to protect our most precious freedoms — just on a different battlefield. Together, we serve our fellow Americans by fighting to preserve religious liberty and free speech for all. While these God-given rights are set out in our Constitution, they would be but words on a page without our veterans.

One of our clients, Lorie Smith, knows this particularly well. Her grandfather served honorably in the United States Air Force through World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Growing up, Lorie was very close to him and learned from his stories to love and honor those who defend freedom.
