186 Voices and Counting: A Movement for Justice Is Gaining Ground

The #ReasonableRanks campaign has reached a powerful milestone — 186 signatures and growing. Behind each of these signatures is a person who believes that injured service members deserve better than being quietly discharged and forgotten. It is a sign that Americans are beginning to demand accountability, compassion, and reform in how we treat those who served.
This isn’t just a number. It’s a call for justice.
At the heart of #ReasonableRanks is a simple truth: many service members are being pushed out of the military because of injuries sustained before deployment — often during training. These discharges can strip them of the opportunity to serve in other meaningful roles and make it harder to access the benefits they earned. This contradicts the very values the military claims to uphold: honor, service, and sacrifice.
Supporters from across the country — veterans, family members, civilians, and advocates — are uniting behind a shared belief: no one who volunteered to serve their country should be discarded when they get hurt.
Every signature represents a story. A voice. A veteran who wants their experience to mean something. And as the petition continues to gain traction, momentum is building not just online, but in real-world communities.
Local governments like the City of Corona have stepped up to endorse the campaign, recognizing the moral imperative behind it. Veterans organizations, educators, and nonprofit leaders are rallying behind the idea that career reassignment—not discharge—should be the default when a service member is injured and still able to serve in a different capacity.
This is how movements grow — step by step, signature by signature.
We encourage everyone who believes in fairness and justice for our troops to join this effort. Share the petition, tell your story, and speak up for those who no longer have a voice in the system.
Let’s turn 186 into 500. Let’s make this campaign impossible to ignore.
