On Friday, October 23, STARRS attended a special ceremony at the Pentagon where Brig. General Melissa Cunningham (USAFA '96) was reinstated back to the Air Force by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
She previously was forced to retire for not taking the Covid vax. STARRS' Mike Rose (USAFA '69) has been providing legal assistance to servicemembers negatively affected by the vax mandate and was her lawyer working on her case. More info
The room was packed with many senior Pentagon officials, including the Secretary of the Air Force. In his remarks, SecWar Hegseth recognized STARRS and said the information we provided to him while he was at Fox about the wokeness problem in the military led to him writing The War on Warriors: Uncovering The Cultural Chaos Threatening Our Military, which caught the attention of President Trump. The rest is history. So your support of our mission ended up restoring the military back to merit, warfighting and common sense, leading to record recruitment and moral. It was a great honor to meet Secretary Hegseth, who is doing such an exceptional job.
Brig. General Cunningham gave very powerful, motivational remarks, including how her faith in God helped her through what had happened to her and how excited she is to be back in the Air Force. She also recognized STARRS and her lawyer Mike Rose and thanked him profusely.
Afterwards, we were given a tour of the Pentagon by a wonderful couple who work there and run Warriors of Conscience, which assists those who left because of the vax mandate start the process for reinstatement.
