SAN DIEGO – Active-duty servicemembers have received official approval to march in their uniforms on July 21 as part of America’s Pride Parade military contingent, San Diego Pride officials said today.

Veterans can wear their uniforms in parades and now their active-duty brothers and sisters will be able to march in uniform alongside them with Pride, now that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) has been repealed.
