West Virginia National Guard's Sgt. Kristin Vannatter and her wife, former U.S. Army Reserve Sgt. Lori Thompson, have a 17-year relationship as a LGBTQ+ couple while serving in uniform. Their experience serving during the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" period between 1994 and 2011 prevented them from being open about their sexuality without the threat of discharge, but today they see the open recognition of LGBTQ+ Pride month in the military as a victory for inclusion, acceptance, trust, and a blow to discrimination.
