Sen. Reid returns West Point ring to Dan Choi.
Background: Lt. Choi gave his ring to Sen. Reid because it held no meaning for him as long as DADT was in affect. Reid promised to return the ring after DADT repeal was signed. Today he returned the ring. :cry: (pretty emotional)

6. A ring is pretty, but it doesn't equal a reinstatement of one's commission
Get Choi back in the service, where he wants to be, where he belongs.
