Let me see if I have this about right--we cannot adequately give the vets healthcare and now we have no way of stopping this type of thing. It has happen how mant times in the last year or so?

August 27, 2007
WASHINGTON - Personal records including addresses and Social Security numbers of more than 35,000 veterans and their families were stolen this month from the offices of a POW support organization in Texas, officials announced Friday.

Leadership of the American Ex-Prisoners of War said they are working with local, state and federal authorities to track down the burglars, but they are asking all their members to watch for signs of illegal activity.

'We'll be notifying all of them of the crime in our upcoming mailings,' said Clydie Morgan, national adjutant for the group. 'We need them to keep an eye on their credit accounts and personal records.'

Nobody's personal info is safe these days and the more we are all put into these data bases the more this will happen.

No big deal--personal data stolen or a life stolen, not much difference.
