Charleston, SC: Carrying the spirit, respect and tradition of honoring veterans, VetFriends.com — the largest web site for reuniting U.S. veterans — has initiated its 12th annual "Honor & Thanks” Veterans Day campaign in support of U.S. veterans, active and reserve military personnel of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard. The site features a Military Ribbons/Awards page creator tool, a Veterans Day Parade directory, a 'Thank You' forum, veteran job boards and more.
Veterans wear their medals and ribbons with pride on Veterans Day, as they take part in parades, events and ceremonies nationwide. The VetFriends.com Military Ribbons/Awards page creator tool allows veterans to display their decorations in a new and unique way. Veterans can select their military ribbons and awards online in order of rank – to then be displayed on a personal awards page with information showing: date awarded; location; service friends present; military stories and more. Veterans are invited to create a free profile at: https://www.vetfriends.com/new_member/index.cfm, where branch and unit awards can be selected. Each decoration is displayed according to precedence, and military medals are posted in accordance with each ribbon. Military awards are shown in full color and allow veterans to display their decorations in a new way – to be shared with family, friends and loved ones online at VetFriends.com.
A Veterans Day nationwide parade/event directory can be viewed at http://www.vetfriends.com/parades. Visitors are invited to submit and register community parades and events celebrating Veterans Day. All listings will be posted on VetFriends.com for over 300,000 visitors per month to view, and circulated through a member newsletter reaching an additional 80,000 people nationwide.
A Veterans Day forum has been developed on the web site at http://www.vetfriends.com/veteransday reaching out to veterans and anyone else interested in contributing their thoughts and insights in regard to Veterans Day, or to give a message of thanks to veterans. These submissions will be posted online in a Veterans Day collection and will be distributed to the media. Veterans Day newsletters, press releases and tribute videos will also be posted, published and e-mailed all in support of U.S. veterans.
Through Veterans Day and the holidays, VetFriends will be taking up to 60% off all Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard pride items to show their support, thanks and appreciation of all veterans and military service men and women.
