Military Report

Latest Scam Wants Military Bank Information
Stars and Stripes reports that e-mails addressed to a “BOA Military Bank Customer” might appear to be from Community Bank, the financial institution on many U.S. bases run by Bank of America under a contract from the Department of Defense. It may be targeting those who hold government travel cards through Bank of America or those who choose to open accounts specifically geared toward servicemembers. The e-mails are just another in a series of scams from someone trying to steal money or personal information from unsuspecting computer users. Legitimate companies and organizations will never ask for information in e-mails such as user IDs, passwords, account numbers or Social Security numbers.

Veterans Day November 11, 2006How do you spell Veterans Day?
You probably know that November 11 is the day America honors and thanks veterans for their military service. You may know that the holiday began as Armistice Day in recognition of the armistice that ended World War I on that date in 1918. You have probably seen the holiday listed as "Veterans Day," "Veteran's Day" and as "Veterans' Day." So, which is correct? It should be written Veterans Day. It does not include an apostrophe but does include an "s" at the end of "veterans" because it is not a day that "belongs" to veterans; it is a day for honoring all veterans. For more information on Veterans Day, visit the Veterans Day Frequently Asked Questions webpage.
