Maj. Stephen Snyder-Hill and Joshua Snyder-Hill ~ May they enjoy a beautiful life together.
"It just didn’t feel real until the guy handed me the card.”
This country has reached a milestone. Equality and the right to pursue happiness.
“It is now the Department’s policy to treat all married military personnel equally,” Hagel wrote in the memorandum. Specifically, he added, “The Department will continue to recognize all marriages that are valid in the place of celebration,” which means that it is not necessary that the state or country where a service member is stationed recognize same-sex couples’ marriages in order for the Pentagon to recognize the marriage.
Because much of the country does not allow same-sex couples to marry, however, Hagel wrote, the Pentagon has decided to allow service members in same-sex relationships living in such places “non-chargeable leave for the purpose of traveling to a jurisdiction where such a marriage may occur.”
