My Story
My name is John Frankman.
Up until very recently, I was a Captain in the United States Army serving as a Green Beret at 7th Special Forces Group (7SFG). On July 1st, I voluntarily separated from the Army due to struggles I encountered because I refused to get the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine. I can now speak freely about my experiences since I am no longer on active duty.

The importance of my faith
First and foremost, I am a Catholic. I converted to the Catholic faith at age 15 and after graduating from Wheaton College, I entered Catholic seminary. I spent four years studying for the Archdiocese of Washington DC and the Military Archdiocese before discerning God had other plans for me. Since leaving the seminary, my faith and relationship with Jesus has continued to be the most central part of my life. I recently completed my M.A. in Systematic Theology.
Serving my country
John was a Captain in the Army who served as a Green Beret assigned to 7th Special Forces Group. On July 1st, he voluntarily separated from active duty due to difficulties with the COVID 19 vaccine mandate. Before going on active duty, he spent four years in the Catholic seminary studying to be a priest with the intent of being a chaplain before discerning that God had different plans for him. He entered active duty as an Infantry Officer and completed the Infantry Basic Officer Leadership Course, Airborne School, and Ranger School. After serving as an Infantry Officer, he was selected to attend the Special Forces Qualification Course where he also completed SERE school (Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape) and completed the Military Free Fall Course. Of all of his military accomplishments, he considers refusing the immoral and illegal COVID vax his proudest moment.

My fight for justice
My current goal is to hold those responsible for the illegal, unethical, and medical unsafe COVID-19 vaccine mandates accountable so this never happens to our country again.
I would like to thank a number of current elected representatives, including Representatives Matt Gaetz, Thomas Massie, Jim Jordan, Eli Crane along with Senators Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz, all of whom have been fighting for servicemen and women against these illegal mandates.
