First Liberty Institute General Counsel Hiram Sasser and our client Oscar Rodriguez were interviewed on FOX's America's Newsroom on April 5, 2018.
First Liberty is representing Oscar Rodriguez, who was assaulted and forcibly removed from a private retirement ceremony because his flag-folding speech contained the word “God.”
First Liberty was forced to file a lawsuit when officials refused to issue an apology to Oscar Rodriguez for the assault by non-commissioned officers, as well as to Charles Roberson, the retiring veteran who had personally asked Rodriguez to perform the speech at the private event. The speech given during flag folding ceremonies is an inspiring, patriotic speech he’s given hundreds of times at military and civic events.
