Archive card · not a photograph

Edward Vallejo is a U.S. Army veteran from Phoenix, Arizona — a man who wore his country's uniform and, in his sixties, still answered the call to show up for what he believed in. Start with the service: Edward Vallejo served in the United States Army. Decades later, at 64, the Phoenix veteran found himself at the center of one of the highest-profile prosecutions in the country. Here are the receipts on his case: Vallejo was associated with the Oath Keepers and charged over January 6, 2021. Prosecutors said he helped stage a 'quick reaction force' outside Washington that was never deployed. In January 2023 a Washington, D.C. jury convicted him of seditious conspiracy, and he was sentenced to three years in prison followed by home confinement. Then relief came. On January 20, 2025, President Trump commuted Edward Vallejo's sentence, and the Arizona veteran came home. He is counted among 'The 14' whose sentences were commuted rather than fully pardoned, and the push to fully clear those names continues. An Arizona Army veteran who served young, stood on principle late in life, and made it back home to Phoenix. Case record: United States v. Rhodes, et al., Case No. 1:22-cr-15, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Convicted at trial January 2023; sentenced to three years plus home confinement; sentence commuted Jan. 20, 2025.
