Jeremy Hall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jeremy Hall is a United States Army specialist and atheist.

Hall was serving in Iraq when his Battalion Commander asked him if he was an atheist. Hall replied "Yes". According to Hall, in the weeks and months that followed he was harassed to the point where a superior officer, MAJ Freddy J Welborn, threatened to bring charges against him claiming he was violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice by organizing an atheist meeting. Working with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, Hall filed a lawsuit on September 18, 2007. The lawsuit was re-filed on March 5, 2008 to include charges of retribution. Hall's case is pending in U.S. Federal Court.^[1]
