Army asks dead to sign up for another hitch

POSTED: 9:39 p.m. EST, January 5, 2007
Story Highlights
• Letters inadvertently sent out to officers killed in action
• 200 wounded soldiers also receive letters
• Invitations intended for soldiers who had recently left service
• Army sending out personnel to personally apologize to families

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Army said Friday it would apologize to the families of about 275 officers killed or wounded in action who were mistakenly sent letters urging them to return to active duty.

The letters were sent a few days after Christmas to more than 5,100 Army officers who had recently left the service. Included were letters to about 75 officers killed in action and about 200 wounded in action.

"Army personnel officials are contacting those officers' families now to personally apologize for erroneously sending the letters," the Army said in a brief news release issued Friday night.

The Army did not say how or when the mistake was discovered. It said the database normally used for such correspondence with former officers had been "thoroughly reviewed" to remove the names of wounded or dead soldiers.
