Tombstone of "A Gay Vietnam Veteran"
"When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one"
Never again 6 July 1943
Never forget 23 June 1988
This is the resting site of Technical Sergeant Leonard Phillip Matlovich.
Race relations instructor, and recipient of the Purple Heart and Bronze Star.
He purposefully outted himself as gay to fight their ban, the first to do so.
This is what real courage looks like.
Happy Veterans Day

Among the many presidency-ending things it is Congress' job to police & it is failing to do, allowing the Mad King to incinerate our closest alliances is top of the list. It should have all ended w/ threatening to invade our NATO allies. Alas, we are not a serious country.

I don't care how Schumer himself votes. The bottom line is that as Senate Majority Leader, Lyndon Johnson would have last night had on his desk eight sealed mason jars with the severed hands of every senator who even thought about raising them to vote yes. As a majority leader should.
