Have sent letters to some in Congress asking if the coded number found on DD-214, known as SPN, SDN, or SPD code was part of data stolen. Here is what Sen. Clinton's letter said; " In an effort to be of assistance, I have brought the info you presented to the attention of the appropriate officials. I ahve requested a review of this matter and a written response from their office ". dated 06-22-06

NOTICE the date above article, JUNE 2006, finally, after 10 MONTHS, and arguing with Senators aides, they sent ( Sen. Schumer ) an INQUIRY to the V.A. and demanded they answer the QUESTION; was the SPN, SDN, or SPD code part of the data stolen from V.A. This long awaited answer should be forthcoming shortly, will let everyone know.

Received letter from V.A. via U.S. Senator Schumer, N.Y.'s Office. The letter which has NO date, and is signed by one PATRICIA J. COVINGTON, Director, Congressional Liaison Services, states; ( SPN, SDN, SPD ) "None of these data elements were included in the stolen file ". This sounds fishy. What about the other files taken. WIll send letter asking about that, so hang in there troops.
