This Veteran's Day
It's quite moving to think about the nearly one million GLBT service people who have served under our flag.
According to the SDLN (Servicemembers Legal Defense Network) there are currently 65,000 on active duty worldwide.
While I have respect for all those following their conscience and representing this nation all over the world, GLBT or not, this Veteran's Day I particularly offer my respect and thoughts to all those serving our "land of the free" in silence and shadows--- Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual AND Transgender , soldiers and support personnel.
DADT (Don't Ask, Don't Tell) will eventually be repealed and you will be able to serve your country, based on the tenet of 'liberty and justice for ALL' without being forced to be relegated to the darkest of corners while being taken for granted and sacrificing greatly and equally with your non-GLBT peers.
Thank you all for your service and contributions! There is no gray area in equality.
Be safe and be blessed.
Thanks and regards,
MW Savant, CEO
