Two active duty Air Force Officers, Capt. Daniel Hall and Capt. Vincent Franchino, both West Point Academy graduates and both currently serving as Apache helicopter pilots, have had their formal wedding ceremony in the West Point Chapel Their union was celebrated with the traditional saber-arch salute as they left the chapel.
Talk about macho. Blackhawk Down. Apache pilots. No false stereotype portrayals of gay men here.
It is believed that this is the first same-sex wedding of two active duty officers in the West Point Chapel, although there has been at least one prior, same-sex wedding of a retired Army general and her partner, who was also a West Point graduate.
See what happens when you get rid of Don't Ask, Don't Tell -- thanks to President Obama? No tweets of congratulations yet from the current president, who is these Apache helicopter pilots' commander-in-chief.
