it was an emotional ceremony for so many who watched - including myself.
my dad's oldest brother was killed in korea and nearly all of the men and several women from my family have served. they have all endured some type of discrimination. thank you, president barack hussein obama for acknowledging that a hero is a hero no matter one's race or gender.
