National Guard readiness officer stationed in Ashland, NE marries boyfriend 11 hours after DADT repeal

The Lincoln Journal-Star reports that Gregory Smith, 48 (left), got married to John Burns, 39, an employee of Kawasaki's Lincoln rail car production unit, "in a state that recognizes gay marriage," which would be Iowa, specifically, Council Bluffs. Congratulations and best wishes from AKSARBENT. Oh wait — no bride, so congratulations and congratulations. Our apologies to etiquette goddess Letitia Baldridge, alumna of Omaha's Sacred Heart Convent.
