Friends of Lt. Col. Terry Lakin are hoping a few hundred people will show up to greet the jailed military doctor when he's released from prison and returns to Baltimore, Md., on May 14.
Dr. Terry Lakin, an Army doctor who refused to deploy again to Afghanistan when his chain of command refused to verify that Obama legitimately is president, has been serving a six-month term at Ft. Leavenworth in Kansas.

A website has been established to coordinate the welcome event, which convenes at 10:15 a.m. at the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Organizers are asking supporters to preregister their planned attendance – to coordinate with airport security – and to come with small U.S. flags and homemade posters thanking Dr. Lakin for his stand.
"We need a big hurray and lots of applause," the website states. "He may say a few words. Then we'll get him to his luggage, to his car and home."
While in prison, Dr. Lakin remains under the Uniform Code of Military Justice but has been allowed to post online a series of observations he's made while serving his time. Those private communications to the Terry Lakin Action Fund suggest that his focus remains on the foundations of the nation and the rights and responsibilities of its citizens.
He's commented on the physical workouts he's enjoyed, his work, his cell and other issues, according to the action fund, which is the organization that has been raising money to pay the monthly bills for Lakin's family while he serves his term.
Lakin's support team said it has been able to supply donated funds for most needs during Lakin's absence.

I can only assume that you consider being an administration hireling hired to troll the internet “serving your country”.
Yet he was found guilty and instead of being shot he was given 24 weeks in prison.
That proves the military is sympathetic to Lt. Col. Terry Lakin.
I don’t assume anything. I asked if you had studied up on this issue. We are in uncharted waters with an ineligible fraud who is not constiutionally qualified to be president sitting in the WH. Numerous fenolies have obviously been committed to enable him to get this far.
That you don’t see this is regrettable.
LTC Lakin's duty was to his sworn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. He was true to his oath.
yeah... you sound like one...
Did you serve under the Usurper?
Wow, I did not know that the military was so short of doctors that are able to deploy that no one was available to be sent in his place. Thanks for filling me in with your inside knowledge.
Obama could have kept this man out of jail with a $12 birth certificate.
George Bush would not have let a man sit in jail for 6 months
Istead Obama let a man be prosecuted for months.
That is not being a good Christian. That is not being any kind of Christian!
I think the entire situation is regrettable. I just don't know what can be done about it at this point. I think that Lakin has lost more that we (he and the public) have gained from his action.
Personally I never did (and never would) disregard a deployment order. I couldn't do that to my fellow troops.
Obama wasn't properly vetted. No president has been. Previous presidents didn't have Obama's questionable background.
We need to push for states to get proper certification of presidential candidates in the future.
Our military gave him 24, weeks prison.
Excuse me if I don't take any advice from you!
(Unbelievable...)
Yes, for 18 months.
Unfortunately the states that have iniated bills to certify that presidential candidates are properly vetted are either not getting passed, or toothless (so far).
The system in every way is so corrupt that I can’t see that working. At this point.
Being a military family member, I know that's never happened before, ever.
<more sarcasm> Right, and if it should happened, we'd celebrate it. </more sarcasm>
MAJ Dobson was the government’s second sentencing witness. While the government elicited testimony from him about how he and his unit were harmed by LTC Lakin’s failure to deploy, his testimony didn’t seem at all whiney or self-pitying. Rather, he came across as a professional military officer willing to do his duty. His testimony would prove quite aggravating.
He testified that he recently returned from a six-month deployment with the 1-32 Cavalry Squadron. He received a call on 6 April saying he might have to deploy on short notice. He was then put on hold for a week, told that the doctor who was originally scheduled to deploy might do so after all. He was then told he was definitely going and left two weeks later.
MAJ Dobson’s wife had returned six months before from a deployment in Afghanistan. The Army tried to give them some time together and he hadn’t expected to deploy until the end of the year. He had been scheduled to attend the captains’ career course, which he had to cancel.
When he arrived at Fort Campbell on 26 April, most of his squadron had already gone to Afghanistan. He wasn’t able to attend the predeployment course required for deploying doctors.
When he arrived in Afghanistan, his unit was on the Pakistani border in Kunar Province, just north of Jalalabad.
Then came the most powerful testimony of the court-martial. On MAJ Dobson’s second day in country, his unit “had mass casualties” — a total of 16. He testified that he felt he didn’t treat them as well as he could have had he had more time to prepare for his deployment.
He named the lieutenant colonel who replaced him after six months — the lieutenant colonel who is now in Afghanistan filling the second half of what would have been LTC Lakin’s deployment.
