Regional Director AmFedVets (212) 349-3455 AmFedVets APPLAUDS MEDIA Eric Van Pelt, Southeast Regional Director of the American Federation of Veterans, joins with other Gay and Non-Gay Veterans and friends in applauding Margarethe Cammermeyer, the media, and those responsible for the production of the world premiered movie "Serving in Silence." Van Pelt told those attending an Atlanta Lambda Center viewing of the historic epic that "there can be no justice until our elected representatives realize that "We are America." He quoted German Lopez, National President of AmFedVets as stating that "Equality of access and rights must never be denied because of minority status alone. Until that Constitutional accord can be reaffirmed those who shed their blood in belief of "Life, Liberty, Justice, and the Pursuit of Happiness" for all are mocked by a deceptive agenda cloaked in hate and fear not brotherly love."
