Now we want to hear from you!

If you’re a servicemember who has returned to your community after combat duty, what gestures of support were most helpful to you or your family? If you’re a family member, friend, coworker or neighbor, what are your best ideas for helping servicemembers’ re-entry to their home communities be as smooth as possible?

I have a question about how to deal with current service members that return and they & their family need help. The question is how to help them when they are gay or lesbian and are terrified to ask for help due to the “don’t ask don’t tell” policy because they may be dishonorably discharged for discussing their “family issues” with a partner and or children?

How do I handle such a situation? Is there a way that is safe for them without endangering their careers?
I believe that they may not recieve the help they need because of this issue.

Please help
