NPRC Director Scott Levins issued the mea culpa in a letter to Sherrill, which her campaign posted online.
"On behalf of the National Archives, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and aggravation this situation may cause you and for our failure to safeguard your military record from unauthorized release," he noted in the letter.
When responding to a Freedom of Information Act Request from De Gregorio, the NPRC "released the comprehensive official record, including personal information such as your social security number and date of birth," Levins told Sherrill, describing the "breach" as "exceedingly rare," and offering her "free credit monitoring services."
