A photo of the letter has circulated widely on social media and it has been confirmed by the Army as genuine. The letter tells former soldiers seeking to return to the service to contact their local Army, US Army Reserve, or Army National Guard recruiter for more information.
The letter was signed by Brig. Gen. Hope Rampy, Army director of Personnel Management, also notes former soldiers who were “involuntarily separated” for their refusal to get the COVID shot “may request a correction of their military records.”
