This Memorial Day, we honor the lives, courage, and sacrifice of all who served our nation. 🇺🇸
At The Global Trans Equity Project - GTEP, we also pause to recognize the countless transgender service members and veterans whose dedication to this country has too often gone unseen, unrecognized, or politicized. Many answered the call to serve with honor, integrity, and love for this nation, despite serving through systems that did not always honor them in return.
Today we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We also hold space for the many transgender veterans whose military careers, benefits, stability, and sense of belonging were impacted by discriminatory policies and ongoing attacks on transgender service members.
Memorial Day is not only about remembrance. It is also about responsibility. A responsibility to ensure that every person willing to serve this country is treated with dignity, humanity, and respect.
At GTEP, we remain committed to advocating for transgender veterans, advancing health and equity, and ensuring that the stories and sacrifices of trans service members are never erased from the history of this nation.
We honor you.
We remember you.
We will continue the fight for equity and justice in your name. ❤️🤍💙
