This is the first image from "The Don't Ask Don't Tell Project."

Brett Edward Stout is a Marine and a good friend.  He has helped me get this project under way.  Without his help I'm not sure if it would ever have made it off the ground.

I love this photo and it's a great start to this project.

The Beginning

Many people have been affected by the Don't Ask Don't Tell policies of this government.

The reaching affects go beyond just the enlisted personnel; it effects the entire country if not the world. This project has been created to show that these courageous patriots who defend us and our freedoms cannot live a free life of their own.

Many times these courageous men and women must live a secret life, hiding their faces, and not being able to have the freedoms they fight for us all to have.

Now is the time for this to end.

Repeal this terrible, discriminatory law and let these brave soldiers have what this country has stood for, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
