Tripp filed a lawsuit against the Department of Defense under the Privacy Act and eventually settled for more than $595,000.
Despite the hardships she went through, Tripp said her only regret is not acting sooner out of fear.
"To those out there who say I did this for personal gain, I say, standing here 20 years later," Tripp said. "What did I stand to gain then or now? I stood to lose everything, and in fact, I did. And yet, if I had to do it all over again, I would."
