NYC: DADT Discussion and Reception with Katie Miller & Jonathan Hopkins - Wed Aug 25, 6:00

While at the Academy Miller worked from within to change DADT. Last week she resigned to attend Yale.
Come hear what this very articulate young woman has to say!

Former Captain Jonathan Hopkins (West Point '01) was #4 in his class at West Point. He was selected early as a Major, deployed for 3 combat tours and earned 3 bronze stars. Last week he also left the Army for DADT.

Expertly moderated by Lambda Legal's Zahara Raine (also Columbia PRIDE).
