The Human Rights Campaign is proud to partner with Servicemembers United (formerly Call to Duty), Log Cabin Republicans, Servicemembers Legal Defense Network and Liberty Education Forum announcing a three day tribute on the National Mall honoring the 12,000 men and women discharged under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law.

On November 30, one flag will be placed on the National Mall for every discharged service member in commemoration of the signing of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." These flags will stand as a testament to the waste caused by this discriminatory law; serving as a backdrop for a series of events that weekend honoring GLBT Americans' service, their sacrifice, and their fight to serve with dignity on the 14th anniversary of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
