At the Pentagon ceremony, Kunst says his organization plans to "remember all Gay men and Lesbians who gave life and limb to stop the Nazis as well as all of America's enemies iin American fought wars from Independence to today's struggles."

The planned ceremony plans to showcase, Kunst says, "people who have worked honorably in every department in the military services, who have been left on the battlefield, ignored and betrayed by this 'don't ask, don't tell' politics of discrimination and revisionism that reflects badly on both the Pentagon and the United States.

"Invitations have been sent to Al Gore and Bill Bradley; the President and Hillary; and especially to Pat and Wally Kutteles, whose son Barry Winchell was beaten to death in his sleep because he was gay."

"We are asking for Gay and Lesbian military service people to join our rally and to be a part of this important ceremony," Kunst says.
