A World War II veteran married his boyfriend of 20 years in a historic ceremony at the Veterans Home of Chula Vista in California.

John Banvard, 95, and 67-year-old Gerard Nadeau, who served in Vietnam, said they wanted to have their ceremony among friends, so they chose to have it at the Veteran's Home, where they’ve lived for the last three years.

'I never thought I'll be marrying a man,' Banvard told ABC News. 'It was something we were happy we could do.'

95 and 67. LOL! Probably not much going on there. I wonder how they know they’re in “love”?

At least they had the common decency not to have this sort of wedding at a Church or Chapel of any kind. More than what can be said of some of the younger folks who want to “marry: this way. It also makes me personally torn because I feel there is only so much you can go after decorated war heroes from WW2 and Vietnam regardless of how much you object to their personal lifestyle choices and even regardless of how unBiblical they are. That does not mean I would be ok at all if they insisted in doing it in a Church or Chapel - of course I wouldn’t in that case.

Wrong is wrong no matter who it is. People may live “shades of gray” (doing right and wrong) lives but right and wrong is always black and white.

Just remember with all due respect to the folks in our military, not every veteran is necessarily a wonderful person. John Kerry and Benedict Arnold are two examples that come to mind.
