On June 10, advocates, veterans, military families and supporters of medical freedom will gather in Washington, D.C., for a special screening event.
By Children’s Health Defense Military Chapter
For years, America’s military service members were celebrated as heroes — until many of them exercised their right to informed medical choice.
“Duty to Disobey,” the powerful new documentary from the Children’s Health Defense (CHD) Military Chapter, tells the stories mainstream media ignored: the men and women who faced intimidation, punishment, career destruction and discharge for refusing to comply with the COVID-19 vaccine mandates imposed throughout the armed forces.
This film is not simply about vaccines. It is about coercion, conscience, constitutional rights and the dangerous precedent set when Americans are forced to choose between their livelihood and bodily autonomy.
On June 10, advocates, veterans, military families and supporters of medical freedom will gather in Washington, D.C., for a special screening event. We invite you to also attend and stand with them.
Children’s Health Defense proudly supported this project because the stories shared in the film expose a reality too many Americans still do not fully understand.
Thousands of service members lost promotions, pay, benefits, and in many cases, their entire military careers after declining an experimental medical product or requesting religious accommodation.
These were not isolated incidents. This was systemic coercion.
Many of the brave individuals featured in the film complied under extraordinary pressure. They now suffer lasting physical, emotional and financial consequences.
Others stood firm in their convictions and paid an enormous personal price for defending informed consent and religious freedom.
The question every American should ask is simple: If this could happen to the men and women sworn to defend our Constitution, could it happen to anyone?
Early screenings spark emotional reactions
At its core, “Duty to Disobey” challenges the growing normalization of government overreach and blind compliance. The film confronts difficult but necessary questions:
- What happens when informed consent becomes meaningless?
- Should military members lose their careers for exercising medical choice?
- What protections exist when constitutional and religious rights are ignored?
- How do we ensure this never happens again?
This conversation matters far beyond the military community. The policies implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic affected workplaces, schools, healthcare systems and families across the country.
The military became a testing ground for extreme mandate enforcement — and many warriors paid the price.
Now, despite recent policy shifts and promises of restoration, many affected service members are still fighting for reinstatement, corrected records, restored benefits and accountability from leadership.
That is why advocacy matters now more than ever.
Early screenings of “Duty to Disobey” have sparked emotional reactions from veterans, whistleblowers, healthcare freedom advocates and families who finally feel their experiences are being acknowledged.
The film gives a voice to those who were silenced and honors the courage of Americans who refused to abandon their principles under pressure.
After the film, Sen. Ron Johnson; Mary Holland; Brian Hooker; Lt. Col. Theresa Long, Pam Long, president of CHD’s Military Chapter; fellow Warriors of Conscience; and additional special guests will participate in a featured roundtable discussion focused on medical freedom, military accountability, informed consent and the path forward for affected service members and veterans.
The June 10 screening in Washington, D.C., is more than a film event — it is an opportunity to unite around the principles of informed consent, medical freedom, transparency and constitutional rights.
Whether you are a veteran, active-duty service member, military family member, healthcare freedom advocate, or simply someone concerned about the future of civil liberties in America, we encourage you to attend and be part of this movement.
Our military members deserve the same rights and protections every American expects for themselves and their children.
Join us in D.C. on June 10 and help ensure these stories are heard.
