Our persistence paid off!

Thanks to my family and friends, Senator Mikulski, The Gazette, NBC 4 News, and The Washington Post, my record has been corrected! We received news yesterday that I have been mailed a new DD214 with an Honorable discharge and a re-entry code of RE-1.
I am so grateful for all of you who took the time to read and sign my petition! I don't believe I would've achieved justice without the support of all those involved.
NBC 4 news posted a follow up story that went national today. The link is posted below.
Again, thank you all for your support! As of now, I plan on finishing my undergraduate degree at which point I will consider re-enlisting in the armed forces as an officer.
