Remembering Fallen Heroes

This morning's Washington Blade has a preview of tomorrow's ceremony at Congressional Cemetery to remember LGBT veterans.

Tomorrow morning's cereomny will take place at the gravesite of Sgt. Leonard Matlovich, whose tombstone reads “When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.” Matlovich was one of the earliest advocates for allowing gays to serve openly in the armed forces.

We hope you'll consider attending Saturday's service, which will be led by SLDN honorary board member Mike Rankin.
