A historic day

As 12:01am, no barrier remained in front of those who wish to give the ultimate gift to their country.

Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell has been repealed and the United States military is now accepting openly gay recruits.

Thank you to our troops from all walks of life, some of you I know are reading this. Many of you will welcome the change while some of you, sadly, will not. But history will look kindly on you regardless. Your doubts, which you will carry with you through the burdens of environmental bigotry and ignorance, will be assuaged when history includes you in a new generation of soldier; one that is fully inclusive and truly representative of all that is great in our nation. It will herald a greater age and better time for us all.

Those that continue to carry the banner of ignorance will be exposed, with time, for what they truly are: ugly constructs of misguided intentions and outright bigotry that were knocked down so that this country can carry through with its mission to provide and protect life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Should be interesting, to say the least.
