What a fine young man, perhaps he should go to Washington and make an even bigger difference.

I, too, am an Eagle Scout. Rather than return the award I ceased my financial support a long time ago. That makes a bigger impact, imo.
I admire Martin's approach and appreciate that a straight man sees the disparity. Plus it's a well-written letter. Martin, you rock.

A courageous young man with character. Hopefully, his action will inspire others. Exclusion is unacceptable, period.
