United States Veteran Levern Garner received a letter from the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Memphis two weeks before Christmas.

“The letter stated some information had come up missing off the VA property,” said Garner.

The missing documents included Garner’s personal information to be exact.

I could not find this incident on the OMB web site, and the VA press office did not respond to an inquiry sent to them earlier today. If I do get a response, I’ll update this post.

Feb. 24: See update here.
