In a move that finally gives Virginia reason to be proud, Congressman Jim Moran stood on the house floor on Wednesday and read a moving letter from a gay active duty serviceman that detailed his experiences serving under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell".

The following video is from the Rachel Maddow Show. The text of the letter is posted on MSNBC here.
