Tech Sgt. Kymon Carriker, 316th Force Support Squadron Airman Leadership School instructor, smiles for a photo at his home in Fort Washington, Md., June 21, 2021. Carriker joined the Air Force before the ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ law’s repeal. He shared his experiences as a service member in celebration of Pride Month, which has been June since 1970 to honor the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York City. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt.
