Statement by AVER
Atlanta, GA – American Veterans for Equal Rights
(AVER) is astonished by President Trump’s statements this morning
prohibiting transgender Americans from serving our country in the US
military. On the very anniversary, July 26, 1948, that President Harry
S. Truman issued Executive Order 9981 to end racial segregation in our
US military, President Donald J. Trump issues tweets to bar transgender
service members from serving in our same US armed forces. Such an
incredible twist of fate in history! One opens doors to liberty. One
slams them shut.
“The President’s unilateral action concerning transgender service
members is insulting to some of our most capable service members and
disrespectful to the leadership of our military. Without full
consultation, a President who never served our country has taken an
action that discriminates without factual foundation.
