This is to inform you that sufficient basis exists to initiate action for withdrawal of Federal Recognition in the Army National Guard for moral or professional dereliction. Specifically you admitted publicly that you are a homosexual, which constitutes homosexual conduct. Your actions negatively affected the good order and disciplin of the New York Army National Guard.

We are friends of Dan over here on Orange County and we have organized a protest in his honor for this afternoon. Can you please help us spread the word! http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs024/1102554956208/archive/1102573438313.html

Who cares gay or not. He is one of the brightest Americans taking care of our country and puttting his life on the line for people like me(who may not even believe in most gay rights). Why does it matter?
