finally signoff on the certification that will end “Don’t
Ask, Don’t Tell”. Once all 3 sign it will take 60 days
before it goes into effect. Last week the 9th Federal

This Pentagon certification received by the White House Thursday is welcomed by gay and lesbian service members who have had to serve their country in silence for far too long. The troops and their commanders are ready. Our nation’s top military leaders have testified that commanders see no significant challenges ahead. The official certification to Congress that the armed forces are prepared for the end of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ should go to Capitol Hill Friday with the President’s signature.
