Major Alan Greg Rogers (September 21, 1967 – January 27, 2008) was an ordained Baptist pastor, a U.S. Army military intelligence officer, and a prominent civil rights advocate who became the first-known openly gay combat fatality of Operation Iraqi Freedom. His death while serving under the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT) policy ignited national media conversations regarding how the lives and sexual orientations of LGBTQ+ service members were acknowledged.
