healthcare event encourages
Families to document health decisions
Staff Judge Advocate
Fort Stewart's Office of the Staff Judge
Advocate, Winn Army Community
Hospital Patient Affairs Division and the
Medical Evaluation Board Outreach Legal
Office are partnering to provide Families
with the opportunity to obtain informa-
tion, forms, and blood pressure screen-
ings at the Fort Stewart Army Sgt. 1st
Class Paul R. Smith Education Center
located at 100 Knowledge Drive, Fort
Stewart, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., April 16.
The free information sessions, which
are open to Soldiers, Family Members,
retirees, and Army Civilians will take place
in the auditorium where forms will be
available.
This.is the second National Healthcare
Decisions Day. Last year's event, which
was formally recognized by Congress and
numerous state and local governments,
included participation by 76 of the mostprominent national healthcare, religious,
and legal associations and organizations
as well as nearly 400 local and state orga-
nizations throughout the country.
At every level, the goal of the nation-
wide initiative is to ensure that all adults
with decision-making capacity inAmerica
have both the information and the oppor-
tunity to communicate and document
their future healthcare decisions. Last
year, more than 250,000 people obtained
resources to make their healthcare deci-
sions known, but there remains millions
of Americans to go.
While making healthcare decisions is
often difficult in the best of circumstanc-
es, making decisions for others is even
more complicated. Each of us has the
ability to guide our healthcare providers
and our loved ones about what we want.
Advance directives give you the ability to
document the types of healthcare you do
and do not want, and to name an "agent"to speak for you if you cannot speak for
yourself. As Terri Schiavo's situation viv-
idly revealed, having an advance directive
can be valuable for all adults, regardless of
current age orhealth status.
With the Patient Self-Determination
Act of 1990, Congress affirmed the right of
every citizen to set forth his or her future
healthcare wishes in writing with an
"advance directive." Yet, various estimates
suggest that only about 25 percent of all
Americans have done so.
Because advance directives can be cre-
ated without a lawyer, for free, and rela-
tively easily, this figure is astonishingly
low.
In recognition of this, National
Healthcare Decisions Day strives to pro-
vide much-needed information to the
public, reduce the number of tragedies
that occur when a person's wishes are
unknown, and improve the ability of
healthcare facilities and providers to offerinformed and thoughtful guidance about
advance healthcare planning to their
patients.
Please visit www.nationalhealthcare-
decisionsday.org for a variety of free infor-
mation (including free advance directives
forms for every state) and tools to assist
with thoughtful reflection on healthcare
choices and ideas on how to get involved.
Additionally, watch for events in your
communityhonoringNationalHealthcare
Decisions Day. Finally, please share this
information with your loved ones and
colleagues.
With healthcare, your decisions matter,
however, others need to know your wish-
es to honor them. There are no wrong
answers when thinking about healthcare
choices and completing an advance direc-
tive.
Please use April 16 to decide, discuss,
and document your wishes, whatever
they may be.D warns Army community of online scam
Special to the Frontline
FORT BELVOIR, Va. -- The U.S. Army Criminal
Investigation Command, commonly known as CID,
is warning the Army community of an ongoing
Internet scam within popular social networking
and dating sites where the criminal poses as a
member of the U.S. Army.
CID has learned of scammers creating profiles of
senior Army officers and noncommissioned offi-
cers, to include the use of official photographs, in
an attempt to lure unsuspecting persons into
revealing personal, banking or financial informa-
tion.
In their latest attempt, scammers are making
contact with potential victims through various
social networking sites. After contact, often during
instant messaging or e-mail correspondence, theLegal

thy or desire for financial gain. By doing what is
asked of them, often cashing a check, the recipients
are told they would be helping the sender or the
sender's Family out of a terrible situation. Complying
with these requests often places the victim at risk
both financially and opens them up to possibly
becoming the victim of identity theft.
CID strongly recommends that Soldiers, civilians
and Family Members who come across any known
suspicious social networking or dating site profile
or are solicited in this fashion from a person posing
as a U.S. Soldier, immediately contact the nearest
CID office or e-mail crimetips@conus.army.mil.
They can also file a complaint with the Internet
Crime Complaint Center. Their Web site is
