Obama & Biden's Remarks at DADT Repeal Signing
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Hey, folks, how are you? (Applause.) It's a good day. (Applause.) It's a real good day. As some of my colleagues can tell you, this is a long time in coming. But I am happy it's here.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Please be seated.
It was a great five-star general and President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, who once said, "Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness and consideration, and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace."
By repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" today, we take a big step toward fostering justice, fairness and consideration, and that real cooperation President Eisenhower spoke of.
