Today President Barack Obama signed into law the repeal of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Never again will the US Military reject the heartfelt oaths of those who offer themselves to stand between their homeland and the world's desolation.

Never again...



"Two American flags and a bouquet of flowers are placed on the grave site of Sgt. Leonard Matlovich, at Congressional Cemetery on December 22, 2010 in Washington, DC. Sgt. Matlovich, who died in 1988, was a Vietnam Veteran who a received both the Purple Heart and Bronze Star and was later discharged from the Air Force for being gay. An inscription on his tombstone reads "When I was in the military, they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one". Earlier today U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law a bill repealing the "don't ask, don't tell" law against gays serving in the military."
