He has been blogging anonymously for a while, telling his story of what it is like to be gay and serving in the military. I was very thankful to hear the father's response to his son.<br />It was also interesting to hear that the men and women he served with knew he was gay and they didn't have a problem with it.<br /><br />My father served in the Air Force and fought in two wars. I asked him once if it would have bothered him to share a foxhole with a soldier who was gay.<br />"Hell no," he replied without hesitation. "None of that matters on the battlefield. We watched each others backs and we focused on our mission".<br /><br />J. HurstAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
