Washington, UNITED STATES: Former US Marine Staff Sergeant Eric Alva (R) speaks as Rep. Marty Meehan (L), D-MA, listens 28 February 2007 during a press conference in which Rep. Meehan said he will re-introduce legislation to repeal the US Military ?Don?t Ask, Don?t Tell? policy. Alva was the first US soldier wounded in Iraq, and has ?come out? and said he is gay. The armed forces policy allows gays to serve if they do not speak about their sex lives, and commanders are prohibited from asking subordinates about sexual orientation.
