Imprisoned Combat Veteran Clint Lorance Day on Tuesday, April 17 to feature at least 5 U.S. Congressmen
United American Patriots and Uniformed Services League call for Pardon for Lorance, to end the day with “Restore Freedom Rally” at Freedom Leadership Conference at 7:30 PM
The American Army Lieutenant serving 19 years of prison for ordering his men to open fire on advancing Taliban terrorists in an Afghanistan combat zone under the Obama-era “rules of engagement” is getting some help this Tuesday. United States Congressman Duncan Hunter, himself a Marine combat veteran, has reserved a hearing room in the Rayburn Office Building of the U.S. House of Representatives for a 3 hour lunch and briefing for U.S. Congressman. Hunter and Representative Louie Gohmert are both slated to speak to attendees there along with at least another 3 to 8 Congressmen expected to confirm.

More to the point, the co-sponsors of the event (who are paying all expenses), United American Patriots and Uniformed Services League, don’t just want the Congressmen who attend their briefing to listen. They want to hear them respond and find out if Congressmen will join their colleague, Rep. Duncan Hunter, in speaking out for and supporting a Presidential pardon for an Army officer who simply did his duty in combat and doesn’t deserve prison as his reward.
side 2 of the flyer – with the detailed itinerary for the entire day.
The two groups expect that every one of the 40 seats in the hearing room will be filled and in fact have asked the vendor helping with setup to bring folding chairs – but you may still reserve a seat at the event HERE. Those who do RSVP have priority seating, and the Congressional staff requires us to provide them in advance the list of attendees. There are plenty of seats still available for the evening conference. Some of those who attend the day activity with Congressmen will be invited to share their experience at the evening conference and Rally.
Details – including the optional 8:30 AM breakfast and capitol hill tour under the auspices of Congressman Duncan Hunter, are spelled out on the “Restore Freedom Day” flyer (2 sides, 8 ½ by 11) HERE.
Speakers for the April 17 “Restore Freedom” Day. Congressman Louie Gohmert has joined his colleague Duncan Hunter to speak to the group at the House Rayburn Bldg., while the others shown here will speak at both the day evens and the evening’s conference and rally.
The following activities are open to supporters of United American Patriots and Uniformed Services League – and both organizations have notified them of the Tuesday event – but there are still some seats open and there is no limit (so far) for the evening event in northern Virginia.
Here are the activities scheduled for “Restore Freedom Day” for Clint Lorance – which the event organizers say is the first in a series of RESTORE FREEDOM events for Lorance and other U.S. servicemen who have been unfairly targeted for doing their duty.

If your name is not on the confirmed admission list, then we need to wait until all others who are on the list are first admitted, and then, if there are any opens seats remaining, we will give them out according to the old rule “first come, first served.” You may reserve any of this at RSVP@FreedomLeadershipConference.org.
In summary, the day’s activities begin at 6 AM at the Comfort Suites Hotel in Chantilly, and end at the same location. You are invited to participate at any one or all of them.
