On April 14, 2009, the Sikh Coalition launched a campaign to end the ban on Sikhs in the U.S. Army. The Coalition is acting on behalf of two Sikh army recruits – Captain Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi and Second Lieutenant Tejdeep Singh Rattan – who are being forced to choose between their religion and their service.
