Quote of the day

We are not a nation that says, 'Don’t ask, don’t tell. ' We are a nation that says, 'Out of many, we are one. ' We are a nation that welcomes the service of every patriot. We are a nation that believes that all men and women are created equal. Those are the ideals that generations have fought for. Those are the ideals that we upheld today.
