After 32 years of distinguished service, Rear Admiral Jamie Barnett retired from the U.S. Navy Reserve in June. In a virtual retirement message, he urged the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Barnett recently wrote
an Op-Ed in the Washington Post calling on military leaders to speak openly of how "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" injures our military and weakens our preparedness. We are proud to announce that he is contributing his compensation from the Washington Post to SLDN. We are honored to Admiral Barnett’s contribution and proud that he is speaking out to right this wrong. On behalf of our clients and all who must serve in silence, we thank Admiral Jamie Barnett.
