In Summary:
The Pentagon is pushing plans to court martial "religious proselytizing" soldiers, airmen, marines, and sailors for promoting their faith. The first link explains the proposed procedures. The second link connects you with the petition. It's unfortunate that I even have to share the thought of government restricting religious freedom and more so on the restriction for service members. But moaning and groaning about it gets nothing done...

Craig - thanks for sharing this. I signed the petition. So sad to think the government is trying to stop our military men and women from hearing about the Hope, Comfort, and Peace found in Jesus. The President shared Bible verses in his speech after the recent bombings. Why can't our service men and women hear those verses shared every day when they are facing war, bombings,...??
Thanks Craig for posting, I've signed the petition too. Why our pentagon would get advise from Mikey Weinstein?... is unbelievable.
BUT, this situation is maybe changing? I've been reading today that our military leaders are now backtracking and saying there can be sharing of faith... but still with limitations. Sooo, keep up the pressure & the prayers!
Signed it!
Thanks for sharing Craig. Just signed it!
