I will first say that I disagree with the belief of your foundation for a separation of church and state, and the removal of all religion from the military.  In the last 16 years there have been many instances where that faith has been the only thing to get me though my deployments.  Times when you have a great personal struggle and the Chaplain’s words can be the force that allows you to recover.  That being said I do however defend your freedom to say what you believe, as is guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.  What I have not found though is this Constitutional law that separates Church and State.  So I ask that you, being that you are a lawyer and I am but a humble enlisted man, would put on your website the actual cite from the constitution or any amendments of said document.  I’m not asking for the legal precedent, because that could just be someone’s interpretation, but the black and white statement itself that you so often refer to.  I would ask that you place this not in a reply, but give it a permanent home with a link from your front page.  This way instead of a vague reference those of who disagree with you can read the law for ourselves.  Remember the judicial branch is a check and balance for the other two, and this is a republic.  Popular opinion is not law, which I’m sure you often rely on.  So instead of all the name calling and other useless post you show in your inbox, let’s replace it with a logical and well thought out discussion.  I welcome the challenge.

Respectfully,
