Tomorrow, two more members of the Armed Forces will be discharged because they are gay and so on. As we honor those who have served this nation with honor and distinction, it is important to remember that many of those veterans who served did so in silence. They got up each day, and did their job whether it be flying a mission over hostile territory for cooking meals. The point here is that until we stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves, this country will never fully live up to the promises of our founding fathers....and mothers. So today, if you do nothing else, when you see someone you know to be active duty, or a veteran who happens to be gay, acknowledge their service above and beyond the call of duty.
