WATCH as President Obama Ends DADT

 

Our President kept his promise as he signs the DADT repeal!

Washington Post reports:

He added: "No longer will tens of thousands of Americans in uniform be asked to live a lie."
The signing does not immediately implement the repeal but instead begins the process of ending the ban on gays serving openly in the military. 

The law will not actually change until the Pentagon certifies to Congress that the military has met several conditions, including education and training programs for the troops. 

"In the coming days, we will begin the process laid out in the law" to implement the repeal, Obama said. Meanwhile, he cautioned, "the old policy remains in place." But he pledged that all the service chiefs are "committed to implementing this change swiftly and efficiently," and he vowed, "We are not going to be dragging our feet to get this done."

I knew our President would not let us down!
