It’s not a post-DADT world yet, but it will be after September 20 — and University of Alaska Anchorage will be celebrating!  Wear camo and join the UAA students and veterans as we celebrate the end of this discriminatory legislation. We’ll be at the Student Union with pizza and other resources.

Why September 20?  It marks 60 days after the formal certification of DADT repeal by President Obama, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, and Admiral Michael Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — and as passed by Congress, the repeal bill required that wait before DADT could finally end.

Other celebrations will be going on around the country: check Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN) for details.  If you’re in the service, see SLDN’s new guide to the post-DADT military, Freedom to Serve: The Definitive Guide to LGBT Military Service.
