Charleston, SC (PRWEB) November 07, 2012
Special bonds are formed between U.S. soldiers who have and are serving side by side in the U.S. Armed Forces. These bonds often withstand the test of time precisely because of the unique and often difficult circumstances under which they were formed in the military. With this idea in mind, in 2000 a U.S. military veteran created http://www.VetFriends.com – an online community that has grown to over 1,300,000 U.S. veterans, military, family and friend members. The mission of the site: to reunite and support veterans and military personnel.
VetFriends.com offers services such as: search over 1,300,000 members to make contact with old friends and relatives; search over 10,000 military units; information on how to obtain your own or a relative's military records and medals that may have been lost; veteran job boards; message boards; upload past and present photos; military cadences; search and post reunions, military pride merchandise and more. Military veterans nationwide are invited to create a free profile at: https://www.vetfriends.com/new_member/index.cfm

After reuniting with a Vietnam service buddy through VetFriends.com, veteran K. David Herbert writes to VetFriends.com:
"A couple of months after posting my photo, I received an e-mail from VetFriends saying someone was trying to get in touch with me. It turned out to be the photographer of my picture and a friend…We have since been exchanging e-mails and he has even added a few pictures of his own to VetFriends too…It was fantastic to hear from him. Thank you VetFriends."
This year, with the approach of Veterans Day, feelings of thankfulness and respect will fill the hearts of the American people, as the community comes together to celebrate, support and show their gratitude to U.S. veterans and active military soldiers alike.
