Glen Doherty was killed on September 11, 2012 at the age of 42 in an armed assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. Glen was one of the first MRFF Advisory Board members and was a passionate core contributor to the fight to prevent a fundamentalist Christian coup within the United States Armed Forces. Glen lived and died believing in the righteous cause of religious tolerance and dialogue among all peoples and faiths around the globe. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation offers its most sincere condolences to Glen Doherty’s family.
