Whats the most important thing Richard Burr has done in 16 years?
I wonder if spouses like this were included (see segment of letter below)? http://pamshouseblend.com/diary/17152/dadt-deployment-goodbyesi-worry-ab… Here are just some to think about – they reflect what life is like for military families under DADT: * Set up an alternative e-mail account that wouldn’t show the gender of my name * Establish a very generic, genderless form of communications over e-mail * Never write “I love you” – or nothing that could indicate anything at all about the nature of our relationship * No access to the Ship’s Ombudsman – a point person for military families for all things very, very important relating to the ship and her crew * Create a plan for dropping her off at ship – making sure our goodbye or welcome is in secret * Never spending the remaining few hours on the ship like with the rest of families before a deployment * Worrying about how close to the pier I could be without raising suspicion * Before leaving home, be sure to say final goodbyes – no hug
