The Pentagon announced on Tuesday that more than 800 service members who were kicked out of the military under the now-repealed “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy will receive honorable discharge upgrades.
Pentagon officials said they had completed a review of about 2,000 cases, as Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III ordered last year.
Mr. Austin said in a statement that the military would “continue to honor the service and the sacrifice of all our troops — including the brave Americans who raised their hands to serve but were turned away because of whom they love.”
About 13,500 service members were separated from the military because of their sexual orientation while the policy was in effect from 1994 until 2011. About a third of them were not considered for discharge upgrades because they were separated during their initial military training and had not served long enough to qualify. [READ MORE...]

A Message From Mayor Adams:
|
|
|
Each week DVS shares a brief update about how our administration is getting stuff done for New Yorkers.
Our administration works every day to create a more affordable city for working-class New Yorkers and ensure they have a safe, healthy home. Thanks to a $48 million dollar investment, we’ve expanded a free program to replace privately-owned water service lines made of lead or galvanized steel for low-income residents in Queens and the Bronx. This program will save eligible property owners $10,000 or more on replacement costs, and it will prevent lead exposure to their families — protecting New Yorkers' health and their wallets.
