By Eric Philips Verified| WAVY-TV (Portsmouth, VA) Verified HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — This Veterans Day, 8News is amplifying the voices of veterans from all walks of life. Stephanie Merlo, a gay solider who served while “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was in place, shared how that policy still haunts her decades later. As she would have been penalized for living her authentic life because of this law, Merlo went to great lengths to hide her true self — but it came at a cost that she’s still paying today.
