Honoring Service In Different Ways
A Veterans Day video & a Houston veterans rally against "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
The Veterans Day National Committee produced a video this year to honor veterans of the United States military. Approximately 23 million veterans are living in the United States today, so be sure to take a moment today and thank them.
Some Houston veterans will be holding a rally advocating the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" at 5:30 p.m. outside of downtown's historic Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS). The Houston rally is one of many nationwide in a week-long campaign to pressure the Senate into repealing the bill, which is becoming increasingly unpopular among the public and military.
November 15 marks the beginning of Congress' lame duck session, which will be the last opportunity to pass legislation repealing DADT this year.
