The White House goes behind the scenes at the signing ceremony of the landmark repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", interviewing Capt. Jonathan Hopkins, who was discharged under the policy and Rep. Patrick Murphy who led the charge in the House of Representatives. White House Domestic Advisor Melody Barnes, who last year at this time made headlines regarding her support of marriage equality, also was interviewed.
Former U.S. Army Lt. Anthony Woods, the Harvard and West Point graduate who earned a Bronze Star after leading an 81-soldier combat unit in Iraq and was later discharged under DADT, can be seen at :30. Watch the video WHEN YOU JUMP ...
Quite awesome!

America continues to grow for all its many people. As a same-gender-loving black male whose father was killed in Italy and being a sole surviving son who wanted to service in Vietnam but was told he could not; I commend all those men and women who will be able to service both proudly and openly within ninety days; I honor you all for your service in our country during this time.
