Dan Choi gave Majority Leader Harry Reid his West Point ring to hold until DADT was repealed. Today he got it back.
For those who don’t know the story, via Bilerico:
“During Senator Reid’s speech at Netroots Nation on Saturday, the moderator handed Dan Choi’s West Point ring to the Senator on behalf of former Lieutenant Choi, asking the Senator to get Don’t Ask Don’t Tell repeal passed.
“Senator Reid said he wouldn’t keep the ring, because he didn’t earn it. He tried to give it back, but the moderator said he could give it back after he passed the bill. He was pointed to Lieutenant Choi, sitting in the front, who, according to reports from people sitting nearby, stood up, approached the security screens in front of the stage, and saluted.”
