January 17, 2023, Grapevine, TX – Patriot Mobile remains resolute in its four pillars of supporting the First Amendment, Second Amendment, the Sanctity of Life and standing with our Military and First Responders.
Background: On Thursday, January 12, 2023 Patriot Mobile donated a $1,500 pizza party gift certificate to the Grapevine Police Department as a thank you for their service to the Grapevine community. Later that day, the Grapevine Police Department posted a thank you on social media, as they do with many businesses that donate meals to their department. This prompted outrage from extreme left activists from around the country, as well as what appears to be bots, which proceeded to attack the simple and sincere thank you message.
Following the uproar, the City of Grapevine took a knee by rescinding their thank you to Patriot Mobile and announced they are rejecting the donation intended for the police force and re-gifting it to ‘a worthy cause’. Patriot Mobile requests that Grapevine joins us in agreeing that police officers are a ‘worthy cause’. Patriot Mobile’s intention when purchasing the certificate at an auction that benefits families of fallen soldiers, was to honor our police officers. Patriot Mobile paid $2,575 at that auction for the $1,500 gift certificate. If Grapevine continues to reject the donation, Patriot Mobile asks that it be given to another police department in North Texas.
Patriot Mobile would like to thank everyone for the support we have received during this situation, which came in the form of positive social media posts, encouraging calls and emails and even many new customers over the weekend. The truth of Genesis 50:20 always rings true whenever we are attacked: “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done…”
“The response from the far left is not surprising to us, nor is it anything new. We are humbled to serve as a Christian conservative company. Our mission is to defend our God-given Constitutional rights. We have been called Christian Nationalists by those who want to silence us, to break us, to make us stop, but we embrace the term Christian Nationalist. We love our country and we love the Lord and we strive to be light in the darkness,” said Glenn Story, Patriot Mobile CEO.
Patriot Mobile will continue to value and show appreciation for our first responder heroes. For too long, our police have been vilified. The battle cry to defund the police is one of the worst political ideologies destroying communities, endangering officers’ lives, increasing violent crime and eroding morale.
Patriot Mobile knows the sentiment expressed in the woke PR statement is not shared by all officers in the Grapevine Police Department. We invite the GPD to reach out if we can help in any way, as we will always stand with our first responders. We encourage others around the country to join us in supporting local police departments as they risk their lives in cities across America each and every day.
As America’s only Christian conservative wireless provider, Patriot Mobile donates a portion of every dollar earned to support organizations that fight for First Amendment Religious Freedom and Freedom of Speech, Second Amendment Right to Bear Arms, Sanctity of Life and the needs of our Veterans and First Responder heroes. Founded in 2013, Patriot Mobile’s corporate headquarters is in Grapevine, Texas and has all U.S. based customer support.
