Daniel Hernandez Jr., one of the heroes of the mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz., two weeks ago, tells ABC News that he will be sitting, along with his father, Daniel Hernandez Sr., with Michelle Obama at the State of the Union on Tuesday, which happens to be his 21st birthday.
“I’m both honored and excited to have the opportunity to travel to our nation’s Capitol for a once in a lifetime event. Also the chance to bring my father along for his first trip to Washington, D.C. The State of the Union is a pivotal moment because it is our opportunity to find where we are and where we will be going as a nation in this upcoming year,” Hernandez said.
You’ll remember that not only did Hernandez rush to Gabby Giffords’ aid, he holds the distinction of being both Latino and openly gay, and also being more of a man than any of the wingnuts crying about how the true victim that day was Sarah Palin.

Nice to hear this. I am sure we will be hearing from haters over at change.org once this is announced.
What a guy! He’s on my heroes list.
Are you reading this Rush? Are you reading this Sarah? God, I hope so.
And for all you sick homophobes, it’s time to wake up and smell the roses.

Im sure the Petey and Bam Bam are already working away on their “By inviting this openly “gay hero” Obama is once again caving in to the evil gay agenda.
