A major announcement was made on Friday in Greenville, Texas, at the 1A Film Fest, which was held in the historic Texan Theater.
Since January 20, 2025, this is the best news the J6 community has received. Ashli Babbitt’s mom, Micki Witthoeft came with very special news that the United States Air Force would be reinstating her daughter’s military honors, meaning that she would finally be able to have a military funeral and ceremony.
Ashli was an Air Force veteran, having given 14 years of her life in service to our country. She spent time deployed to Afghanistan, and she also worked at the Pentagon. She was a patriot who loved her country only to have her service stripped away by the corrupt and evil Biden Regime after she was shot and killed on January 6, 2021, inside the Nation’s Capital, by a Capitol Police officer.
She was denied her military honors and did not receive a military funeral, which she had earned and deserved. Micki and Aaron Babbitt, Ashli’s husband, were unable to find a funeral home that would perform any services for this American Hero. Not being able to give her a proper funeral because of the label given to her by the government, they were resigned to scattering her ashes in the sea, with no military service for Ashli.
But now, thanks to President Trump, along with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and due to the diligence of their lawyer, Robert Sticht, this injustice is being corrected. Justice for Ashli is no longer a question; it is happening.
Mama Micki, as the J6 community has affectionately named her, asked David Sumrall, emcee of the event, to make the announcement to the crowd, which was followed by a tearful, grateful, standing ovation. It was a big surprise and the high point of the night.
“First, I would like to thank President Trump, and a special thanks to Robert Sticht for working so hard to get this done. We are waiting for a meeting to discuss plans and locations for a service. My hope now is that this will help other J6ers get justice.” -Micki Witthoeft
Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt had her military honors restored by the Trump Administration after having them denied in 2021 following her shooting death by Capitol Hill police officer, Michael Byrd.
Micki Witthoeft, Ashli’s mother, broke the news this past weekend at the First Amendment Film Festival in Texas.

On Monday evening, The Gateway Pundit spoke with Micki Witthoeft about this wonderful news.
Micki told us that she wanted to thank the many supporters for their hard work in making this happen.
Micki especially wanted to thank Attorney Robert Sticht for his exceptional work in making this happen.
“This was a huge win for Ashli and our family,” added Micki.
Ashli’s mother, Micki, moved to Washington DC after her daughter’s death and led the efforts for many years to support the Jan. 6 political prisoners locked up at the DC Gulag. She held a nightly vigil outside the prison to show the men and women they were not forgotten.
