My husband, Thomas Caldwell (“Tom”), quite surprisingly to me, is now known as a ‘January 6er or J6er’ criminal defendant. This term is applied to people who went to Washington D.C. on January 6th, 2021 to hear President Trump speak, to march to the U.S. Capitol, and to peacefully protest there. That is what more than 500,000 January 6th attendees did that day -- including me. Unfortunately, many were arrested for simply exercising their First Amendment rights. My husband is one of those. He never entered the U.S. Capitol, did not commit any violence against anyone or anything, and did not plan or participate in any kind of attack on the Capitol. Yet, he was wrongly scooped up and thrown in jail for 53 days. Most of his jail time was spent in solitary confinement.

At the time of his arrest, Tom was 66 years old. He is a retired Navy officer and a disabled veteran who lives with chronic pain, debilitating spinal conditions, and other ailments, mostly due to his selfless service to our country. He has no criminal history and has been an upstanding citizen for half a century. He is a gentle, fun-loving soul.

Tom is innocent of all the charges the DoJ and FBI have thrown at him. Lies about him have been spread worldwide through the media.

Accordingly, my plea to you this Christmas season is to have compassion for the J6ers and their loved ones. Pray for them. Help them. There are many ways you can help a J6er. You may donate to individual defendants, adopt a family in need this holiday season, and get information on how to send cards and letters to those incarcerated or under house arrest. Prayers, cards, and letters provide tremendous joy, hope, and strength to those affected. Believe me, Tom and I know this first-hand and we are overwhelmed, thankful, and humbled by the support we’ve received. You can do something very tangible to give others joy and hope.
