4. Choi being interviewed on CNN.
Edited on Sat Dec-18-10 05:12 PM by JackBeck
Talking about being diagnosed with PTSD.

And how last Thursday's vote triggered anxiety attack.

24. Is he out of the Hospital? Must be if he spoke with CNN unless it was by phone?
My best wishes go out to him, he's been a huge vocal advocate, a face to an immoral policy.

27. On CNN the interview was by phone.
I think he's still in a place where he continues to heal.

12. I like that idea
...would love for that to come with a reinstatement of Dan's commission. :thumbsup: Just being admitted to West Point is a huge deal, Dan should not have those honors stripped from him.

Much love and respect to you, LT Dan Choi. :toast:

11. Thanks to both of you
Sen Reid for bringing this to the floor, and Lt. Choi for doing what you did.

Oh and yes, President Obama for FINALLY signing this.

Good, we now join other countries in this.

13. I'm just beaming today.
Forget what a certain constantly angry, bitter, hateful United States Senator said on the floor of the Senate today. This is a GREAT, HAPPY day for us. The United States is a better country today. We should all be proud.

31. Thank you for this great post.

I hope Lt. Choi is at the signing and gets his ring from Senator Reid. Am I asking for too much drama? No, because as our VP has been heard to say, 'this is a big fucking deal.' :patriot:
