Military Urged To Stay Away From National Day Of Prayer Event -- Washington Times

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, run by former Air Force member Mikey Weinstein, is petitioning U.S. military leaders to abstain from attending a National Day of Prayer, saying the annual event is nothing short of right-wing Christian fundamentalism.

Mr. Weinstein penned a letter to military chiefs and to White House officials, asking them not to send any speakers, the Army Times reported.
