Lt. Choi, thank you for protecting me and this country. A bullet that you are willing to take to protect my freedoms doesn't care if you are gay or straight...and neither do I.

It is shameful that the military does care. It is dishonorable to demand that gay and lesbian service people hide their lives away in the dark and never speak of it.

Our country NEEDS more people like Lt. Choi, he is a credit not only to the military but to our nation. It is time to end the shameful and wrong practices of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'.
