I wanted to thank Mikey and the team at MRFF for their rapid response in getting an AETC social media post containing verses from the Bible removed. Thomas Jefferson once wrote “the price of Liberty is eternal vigilance.” As one of seventeen people who brought this to MRFF’s attention, I can attest to their vigilance. Within 15 minutes of sending the team at MRFF a screenshot of the post, they responded and immediately began actioning the issue. That sort of response time is commendable for a quick reaction force and virtually unheard of for a nonprofit over a long weekend.
After over more than twenty years of service, I still find it baffling that leaders, who have sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, cannot adequately communicate the egregious impropriety of a implied government endorsement of religion. Hopefully, AETC leadership will take this opportunity to train its Public Affairs Airmen on their professional obligation to avoid running afoul of the Establishment Clause.
Thanks to MRFF for their vigilance in reminding Air Force senior leaders of their obligations to uphold the values they swore to protect.
Sincerely,
20 year Airman
