VA tells veterans discharged under 'don't ask, don't tell' they are eligible for all VA benefits

[quote] "More than 100,000 American service members have been discharged because of their sexual orientation or gender identity -- including more than 14,000 under Don't Ask Don't Tell," President Joe Biden said in a statement released Monday about the 10 year anniversary of the repeal of the policy.

[quote] "Many of these veterans received what are known as 'other than honorable' discharges, excluding them and their families from the vitally important services and benefits they had sacrificed so much to earn," Biden said in the statement.

[quote] Biden said in the statement that he believes the repeal of the policy "helped move our nation closer to its foundational promise of equality, dignity, and opportunity for all."
