Thank You Professor Samuels

Mr. Weinstein, on behalf of the entire 4 generations of our family from (state withheld) please express our sincerest thanks to Professor Steve Samuels for standing up for our (cadet’s name withheld) who is so dear to our hearts. We know that the Professor is the only one brave enough to come forward and do the right thing. My father was in the Battle of the Bulge in WW II and would have loved to have met Professor Samuels. He admired courage and conviction above all. Father would have been incensed at how the AFA has allowed these personal attacks on our cadet (son or daughter) and so many others too. Our cadet (son or daughter) is gay. (He/she) does not yet feel able to come forward at the AFA about this because of the hatred the MRFF has revealed. None of us blame (him/her). The MRFF is fighting for (him/her) and in doing so also fights for so many others as well as the legacy of my dad and the honor he cherished. We know the fight would be much harder for you and the MRFF without Professor Samuels coming forward. We would hug you all if we could. But for now this e-mail is our best hug.
