On Veteran's day 2014, StonewallAGAIN's founder, Mike Lackovich and StonewallAGAIN's Bisexual liaison, Br. Michael C. Oboza (ret) spent the day together at a ceremony.
During day, the crowd stood for the Color guard while they presented arms presenting the American flag. After the American National anthem, the crowd sat and Veteran speakers shared their wisdom.
At the end, an Anglo Saxon straight male veteran mentioned that all veterans are forgotten when they take their uniforms off. And then, the same veteran happen to have created The Peace Garden, a Veteran's memorial mentioned the mistreatment of Veteran minorities such as African americas, Latinos and Gay brothers and sisters.
The person next to Lackovich, Lackovich and Oboza got emotional. They were moved by the visible equality of the minorities mentioned. Also, Oboza was rarely so moved that he asked to hug Lackovich. He said yes... "Thank you for what you do," Oboza shared with Lackovich, "You are stronger than I am."
