<TT>"Just wanted to let you know that, the same as many of you, I recently</TT>
</PRE>

<TT>received my Military Retiree Account Statement. Please review the back of</TT>
</PRE>

<TT>your statement and verify who you have designated as the beneficiary in case</TT>
</PRE>

<TT>you die. Mine has changed to someone I don't even<O:p></O:p></TT>

<TT>know (Cathy J. McMillin,</TT>

</PRE>

<TT>military retiree personnel information compromised it is interesting that</TT>
</PRE>

<TT>somehow my beneficiaries have changed. </TT>

</PRE>

<TT>If you look at the broader picture of what this means<O:p></O:p></TT>

<TT>that many veterans</TT>

<TT>probably wouldn't catch this and that as we lose more of our fellow service</TT>
</PRE>

<TT>men and women each day this would leave their dependents without the benefit</TT>

<TT>they deserve. I will be calling DOD first day they are open as well as the</TT>

<TT>Please send this out to the retirees you know and alert them to check whether</TT>

I checked my Retiree Account Statement, and the only pertinent info there is my wife's date of birth.

Hmmm. I didn't check the Retiree Account Statement.

I checked urban legends and snopes and there was nothing there.

I don't know where we would check this but we will.
