Colorado Springs, CO – The United States Air Force Academy's (USAFA) adhering to the constitutionally guaranteed right of separation of church and state in the U.S. Military is a train wreck. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been in literally countless fights with USAFA since February of 2004. MRFF currently represents 414 cadets, faculty, and staff at USAFA, of which 372 are Protestant or Roman Catholic.

Highlighting USAFA's lack of adherence to the Constitution, MRFF purchased a billboard in Colorado Springs to be displayed May 23-June 5, 2016 during USAFA's 2016 Commencement schedule. President Obama will be delivering his final Commencement speech to a U.S. Military Academy on Thursday, June 2, 2016. The billboard reads: "WELCOME MR. PRESIDENT TO OUR AF ACADEMY, WHY IS JESUS COMMANDER IN CHIEF HERE?" The billboard is located on the east side of I-25 and faces north, and is 2,640 feet north of the interstate's intersection with Garden of the Gods Road. Please see the above photo of the billboard.

On the morning of May 31st and June 1st, MRFF will have an airplane flying and pulling a banner all over the skies of Colorado Springs between 10:30am and 12:30pm. The banner reads: "WHY IS JESUS COMMANDER IN CHIEF AT USAFA? MRFF.ORG"

MRFF will also be saturating the airwaves with a 15 second TV commercial 1,322 times from May 27 through June 2, 2016. "Why Is Jesus..." on cable TV throughout Colorado Springs on: FOX News, MSNBC, CNBC and CNN.
