Folks, this is the moment we’ve been waiting for. God Bless President Trump!
Please email the President and ask him to pardon our Sons. There are over 100 brutal terrorists who were freed by Obama, yet he left our Sons in Leavenworth and with devastating horrendous stains on their record for life.
Please email the President and let him know that you want our Sons home and their records cleared. Go here.

And please be sure to thank him for all he is doing for our military and our country.
Thank you for all your support over these long years. We NEVER gave up and now we have a Commander-in-Chief with the courage to do the right thing for these brave men and women. Please pray for their freedom and that they get their lives back!
It’s not over yet so please don’t forget to email the President and let him know you support his efforts!
With A Mother’s Heart,

The White House on Friday requested paperwork needed to pardon several military members, including Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher of the Navy SEALs.
The White House on Friday requested paperwork needed to pardon several military members.

President Trump has requested the immediate preparation of paperwork needed to pardon several American military members accused or convicted of war crimes — including high-profile cases of murder, attempted murder and desecration of a corpse — indicating that he is considering pardons for the men on or around Memorial Day, according to two United States officials.
The requests are for Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher of the Navy SEALs, who is scheduled to stand trial in the coming weeks on charges of shooting unarmed civilians and killing an enemy captive with a knife while deployed in Iraq.
They are also believed to include the case of a former Blackwater security contractor recently found guilty in the deadly 2007 shooting of dozens of unarmed Iraqis; the case of Maj. Mathew L. Golsteyn, the Army Green Beret accused of killing an unarmed Afghan in 2010; and the case of a group of Marine Corps snipers charged with urinating on the corpse of a dead Taliban fighter.
So what?
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said they did not know if other service members were included in the request for pardon paperwork.
The White House sent requests on Friday to the Justice Department’s Office of the Pardon Attorney, which alerted the military branches, according to one senior military official. Pardon files include background information and details on criminal charges, and in many cases include letters describing how the person in question has made amends.
The official said while assembling pardon files typically takes months, the Justice Department stressed that all files would have to be complete before Memorial Day weekend, because the President planned to pardon the men then. A second United States official confirmed the request concerning Chief Gallagher.The military branches referred questions to the Justice Department, which declined to comment on the matter.
Mr. Trump has often bypassed traditional channels in granting pardons and has wielded his power freely, often in politically charged cases that resonate with him personally, such as the conviction of the former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio. Earlier this month, the president pardoned former Army First Lieutenant Michael Behenna, who had been convicted of killing an Iraqi during an interrogation in 2008.
While the requests for pardon files are a strong indication of the president’s plans, Mr. Trump has been known to change his mind. The White House declined to comment.It is not clear what the impetus was for the requests, but most of the troops who are positioned for a pardon have been championed by conservative lawmakers and media organizations, such as Fox News, which have portrayed them as being unfairly punished for trying to do their job. Many have pushed for the president to intervene.
Pardoning several accused and convicted war criminals at once, including some who have not yet gone to trial, has not been done in recent history, legal experts said. Some worried that it could erode the legitimacy of military law and undercut good order and discipline in the ranks.
“These are all extremely complicated cases that have gone through a careful system of consideration. A freewheeling pardon undermines that whole system,” said Gary Solis, a retired military judge and armor officer who served in Vietnam. “It raises the prospect in the minds of the troops that says, ‘Whatever we do, if we can get the folks back home behind us, maybe we can get let off.’”

obama demanded that our brave troops be soldiers AND choir boys under the stress and chaos and fear for their own lives in the Hell of war and islam, fighting obama’s own favored islamic people, who it’s taken for granted are savages.
There is a long list, dozens, in fact, of American volunteer servicemen who obama betrayed, who need to be pardoned and released from incarceration yesterday.

Our troops should ‘never’ be asked to serve under another Obama. He did not rate the title ‘Commander in Chief’…

THE LEFTISTS ARE ALWAYS TRAITORS TO THEIR CULTURES EXCEPT WHEN IT IS ANTI-EUROPEAN OR JUDEO-CHRISTIAN I.E. ISLAMIC THEN THEY FIND COMMON CAUSE! OBAMA SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED! SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO OF AZ HAD THE GOODS ON OBAMA’S LACK OF BIRTH QUALIFICATION TO BE PRESIDENT & THE DEMOCRATIC MACHINE CAME AFTER HIM! SINCE PRESIDENT TRUMP CORRECTLY PARDONED ARPAIO, WE SHOULD PARDON OUR SOLDIERS FOR RESPONDING TO ACTS OF WAR BY BARBARIANS! HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY EVERYBODY! I HAVEN’T HAD INTERNET FOR SEVERAL WEEKS DUE TO A HACKED MODEM THAT TOOK ME OUT & HAVE TO UNFORTUNATELY WORK TOMORROW!

Thank you for the link. I will be sending requests.

Obama went out of his way to persecute our military.

These soldiers should never have been prosecuted in the first place, for doing a job the gov sent them to do. If and when they are pardoned, they should be given compensatory damages as well.

In the UK they let out of prison early the ira terrorists and pardoned them but are now looking in to prosecuting some of the soldiers who had to fight in that war zone for their apprarent behaviour.

Really, this is nothing. The story said the boy tried to knife him when giving aid. We have the kindest troops of any army. But we will make the OFFR* if you try to SCREW with US.
* OVERWHELMING FORCE and FEROCIOUS RETALIATION!

Like a college football coach taking over a failing program, there is so much that Trump has had to undo before installing his winning agenda, using the same “roster” of players already on board.

Correct sir. The America that we are is the answer. The days of political professionals has ended. Trump isn’t a coward. He’s a quick study too. He has command and is a patriot. He’ll roast Biden ,Ukraine criminals will roll immediately. There is no dirt on our guy. It would’ve come out Lock and load , we re here and we have a fighter

This is not freewheeling pardoning. The military so-called justice dept are the freewheeling ones trying to be politically correct while decimating the lives of these heroes and their families. They have poorly handled the prosecution of these cases. Just go to United American Patriots and find out what these bad people have been doing. I question why any sane individual would want to join the military nowadays. If they kill the enemy they will be called into question and have to at least serve time in prison. Are you kidding me??
