| <br/> Saw this on a recent Peoria County IL geneology list <br/> The Veteran's Administration has reported discovering 10 million duplicates<br/> of 20th Century Military Records.  There records were thought to have been<br/> destroyed in a 1973 fire, which wiped out most Army records from 1912 to<br/> 1960 and most Air Force records from 1947 to 1964.  If you need records that<br/> you were told were burned, you may contact: Veterans Personnel Records, GSA,<br/> St. Louis  MO  63132.<br/> <br/>

| With egg on my face, I admit I believed this post from the Peoria County list <br/> and passed it on.   Sorry, check this link.   It's a hoax/myth.   <br/> [http://www.iigs.org/newsletter/9908news/legends.htm.en<br/>] <br/> I usually try to check these before hand. I got it forwarded to me from my sister, and was in a hurry when I sent it. <br/> It still Might be worth while to pass on that it is a myth in your news letter. I found one post on it dated to 1998.<br/> <br/>
