Behind-the-Scenes:
Signing the Repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell"
At the signing of
the bill to repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" last week, the sense of
history and enthusiasm was palpable throughout the audience. While we were
there we had a chance to talk to Captain Jonathan Hopkins, who was discharged
under the policy, as well as Rep. Patrick Murphy who led the charge in the
House of Representatives, and Melody Barnes who played an integral role here at
the White House. The video gives a glimpse of what it was like there.
