Subject: Sign a Petition to Allow Sikhs to be Fully Accepted in the U.S. Military

Customize your message I just signed a petition at the following link respectfully calling on the Obama Administration to give devout Sikh Americans an equal opportunity to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces: bit.ly/sikhsinthemilitary The Sikh community has been an integral part of the American fabric for over a century and made numerous contributions to the progress and prosperity of our society, including a proud tradition of military service dating back to World War I. Unfortunately, the U.S. military effectively banned devout Sikh soldiers from serving in the 1980s and continues to severely limit their ability to do so. The time has come to change the policy that excludes Sikhs from serving so that any willing and able Sikh soldier can join the military without abandoning his or her faith.
