Briana Pechacek wants all New York veteran families to be eligible for programs meant to help the loved ones of deceased or disabled service members — just like her father. U.S. Army Sgt. Steve Pechacek, of Ghent, sustained serious, life-altering leg and spinal injuries during live-fire combat training in South Korea in the early 1980s. Pechacek, 57, is a severely disabled veteran, but unless a bill becomes law, his children are ineligible for the Military Enhanced Recognition Incentive and Tribute, or MERIT, scholarship intended for the children, spouses or financial dependents of American service members who died or became permanently disabled.
