Allen Schindler, Jr. had a dream of following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps by joining the US Navy. But there was a thing that he need to keep secret - that he was gay. In order to enlist, he would not be allowed to reveal his sexual orientation. But, he would eventually be found out by his shipmates, and some of them were angry about it. And one night, in October of 1992, 2 of his fellow sailors beat Allen to death in a public restroom in Sasebo, Japan. It was an incident the Navy would stop at nothing to keep under wraps. But a determined mom and a determined reporter would not stop until the Navy revealed the truth.
