Today, we are sharing the story of another resilient warrior who was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, Kennie Kelly.

Chief Warrant Officer 5 Kelly, a Master Aviator, was involuntarily separated in September 2022 after refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Following the release of EO 14184, he worked directly with the dedicated @USArmy COVID-19 Reinstatement & Reconciliation Task Force to return to service. With support from the Task Force - and under the leadership of @SecWar & @SecArmy - CW5 Kelly was reinstated in February 2026 with full relief, including backpay, duty station preference, entitlements, benefits, and constructive service credit.

He now serves alongside his three sons, each carving their own path in the @USArmy, @USNavy & @USAirForce. Said CW5 Kelly, “Putting the uniform back on is an absolute honor that truly feels like coming home. Though the COVID separation was a difficult chapter, it ultimately deepened my dedication to the @DeptofWar mission and the nation I serve.”

Welcome back, CW5 Kelly. Hooah!
