Becomes First in 30 Years to Win Right to Wear Faith Articles in Army
The National Law Journal
For the first time in more than 30 years, the U.S. military has allowed an
enlisted Sikh soldier to maintain his religiously mandated turban, beard and
hair while serving in the Army. A team of lawyers at McDermott Will & Emery
and attorneys at the Sikh Coalition also won one-time exceptions last year
for two Sikh Army officers. The teams' efforts have spurred interest in
Congress; in the past year, more than 50 members have written to military
officials requesting that Sikhs be accepted into the U.S. Armed Forces.

Ben Franklin observed that truth wins a fair fight -- which is why we have
evidence rules in U.S. courts.
