3. Just In Time for Memorial Day

Let us remember those gay soldiers who quietly served. They were just as brave and willing to sacrifice as the straight soldiers, but because of our society's prejudice, could not be themselves.

I'm guessing the usual suspects, just wondering.

11. Fantastic!

Now when its a done deal, I will expect everyone on DU who jumped down Obama's throat about it to send him an email apology.

Don't worry, I know you won't, or expect you to flame this post, but I had to say it.
