Today we honor the service members who gave their lives in service to our country—including those in the LGBTQ+ community who served while forced to hide who they were, and those who carried the weight of discrimination alongside their duty. Their courage, sacrifice, and commitment helped shape the freedoms we continue to fight for today.

On Memorial Day, we remember those we lost and recognize the generations of LGBTQ+ people who served with honor, resilience, and love for their communities and country. We carry their stories forward and recommit ourselves to building a future where everyone can serve, live, and exist with dignity.
