“We wholeheartedly applaud the Army’s decision today,” said Amardeep Singh, Program Director of the Sikh Coalition. “Our experience on the frontlines of almost every major war the past 100 years makes crystal clear that Sikhs are effective and brave soldiers. Sikh inclusion in the Army not only helps the military understand the many faiths and cultures of America, but also the faiths and cultures of countries where we send soldiers into harm’s way. We look forward to the day when the Army finally welcomes the service of all Sikhs, not just Captain Kalsi.”
