    3. Please don't spread this *mis-information* any further. As someone else pointed out it is a [longstanding] hoax-- These 'records' were found a few years ago, BTW, & the erroneous news of their contents has persisted in lots of places that ought to know better. from the FAQ at; http://www.nara.gov/regional/mprfaq.html 2. What about the "10 million medical records" that were found? Are these duplicates of the records that were burned? No, they are not duplicate records. This source of records contains approximately 7.8 million summaries for admissions to medical treatment facilities. They contain limited medical information which may be sufficient to support certain claims for veterans' benefits. Alternate sources used to reconstruct service and medical information lost in the 1973 fire at NPRC(MPR) http://www.nara.gov/regional/mprfire.html contains a more detailed explanation of these records. ****** > From: "Disabled American Veterans Bulletin", newsletter April/March > 1998. If this was really in DAV-- then shame on them. If this person that miled it to you was misquoting them-- then double shame on them. jim -- elbrecht@mindspring.com and jjelbrec@aol.com >From beautiful, upstate NY.
