EVERY LGBTQ servicemember submitted a letter to their command declaring their identity.
EVERY SERVICEMEMBER who supported ending DADT submitted a letter to their command declaring that support.
In a PERFECT WORLD - EVERY man and woman, enlisted and officer, on every base, in every wing, on every ship who wanted DADT to end participated on one special day.
According to this Palm Center Report congressional legislation to repeal DADT will, most likely, not reach the President's desk for signature in the next year or two; if then.
Your Commander-in-Chief does not have the political will to suspend DADT discharges even though he has the legal power to do so.
According to retired Generals who support ending DADT there are about 65,000 LGBTQ men and women on active duty.
Every soldier who is willing to serve should be allowed to serve openly.
WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW:
What would happen if EVERY LGBTQ servicemember and supporter submitted a declaration to their command on November 11, 2009.
NOTICE: Some of the potential implications for coming out include:
-no guarantee of discharge
-Discharge paperwork will say "homosexual" and will not be able to reenlist
