we petition the obama administration to:
Honor our service members who used their personal firearms to fight back against the terrorist attacker in Chattanooga.
On July 16, 2015, a terrorist attacked two U.S. military installations in Chattanooga, Tenn., killing five service members. The Commanding Officer of the reserve center and several others heroically engaged the enemy with their personal firearms, despite being vastly outgunned. These men fired back, risking and sacrificing their lives valiantly. But for the gallant actions under enemy fire of LCDR Tim White and his men, many more lives would have been lost that day.
We petition the President to honor our brave men by presenting medals for bravery to LCDR White and all of the service members, including the fallen, who saved lives by returning fire. And we ask that the survivors of these attacks be invited as the President’s special guests to attend the next State of the Union Address.
It's up to you to build support for petitions you care about and gather more signatures. A petition must get 150 signatures in order to be publicly searchable on WhiteHouse.gov.
Over time, we may need to adjust the petition signature thresholds, but we'll always let you know what the thresholds are.
