Fw: Attn All Military Retirees

[darrels joy]

This sounds like you might want to give it a check .

FYI. The individual that sent me this his last name is Richardson and he has been married to his wife (same woman. for over 50 years.

"Just wanted to let you know that, the same as many of you, I recently received my Military Retiree Account Statement. Please review the back of your statement and verify who you have designated as the beneficiary in case you die. Mine has changed to someone I don't even>> know (Cathy J. McMillin, "wife") as getting 100%. Based upon the fact that recently the VA had military retiree personnel information compromised it is interesting that somehow my beneficiaries have changed. If you look at the broader picture of what this means>> that many veterans probably wouldn't catch this and that as we lose more of our fellow service men and women each day this would leave their dependents without the benefit they deserve. I will be calling DOD first day they are open as well as the DOD IG and local congressman. Please send this out to the retirees you know and alert them to check whether current beneficiary is. Ask them to pass it along." LtGen Chuck Pitman, former Deputy>> Commandant for Aviation with Gen Al Gray, requests that this Veteran scoop be passed along on the AllHands.
