The Pentagon has announced that over 800 military personnel are receiving upgraded honorable discharges, correcting past injustices linked to the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy.
The review led by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed that around 96% of the 13,500 service members affected by the policy now hold honorable discharges.
This announcement marks a significant step in recognizing the sacrifices of LGBTQ service members who were unjustly discharged under previous military policies.
President Joe Biden's initiative to issue pardons furthers the commitment to rectifying historical discrimination against LGBTQ individuals in military service.
