Equality Texas Rally in San Antonio, Texas - Nov. 15, 2008
"Marine Staff Sgt. Eric Alva, became the first American to be injured during the invasion of Iraq when he stepped on a land mine and lost his leg in the explosion. As he was recovering at Bethesda Naval Hospital, he was visited by President George Bush, first lady Laura Bush, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. None of then knew that Staff Sgt. Alva was gay." (Burroway, 2007)
