This was the email that came with it....
As we recognize Pride month, we thank all of our gay and lesbian service
members, LGBT civilians, and their families for their dedicated service
to our country. Before the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," they
faithfully served their country with professionalism and courage. And
just like their fellow service members, they put their country before
themselves. And now -- after repeal, they can be proud of serving their
country, and be proud of who they are when in uniform. The pursuit of
equality is fundamental to the American story. The successful repeal of
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" proved to the Nation that just like the country
we defend, we share different backgrounds, different values, and
different beliefs -- but together, we are the greatest military force in
the world. It also reminds us that integrity and respect remain the
cornerstones of our military culture. The Army, Navy, Marine Corps and
Air Force implemented the repeal with a focus on respect and individual
dignity. So, come out and support this event to promote understanding,
teamwork, harmony, pride and esprit among all groups. This event will
take place 25 June 2013 at the KAF Fest tent @1100-1200.
