Currently, there are 29 million US veterans, of which 80% served during a time of conflict. They hold their veteran status in high regard and with intense loyalty. US veteran and VetFriends.com founder Dale F. Sutcliffe says, "Common experiences among veterans and their families often creates a desire to socialize with and seek out others of similar backgrounds."
With this powerful notion of "reuniting" in mind, VetFriends.com has created a Web site for veterans, active military, along with friends and family, offering a wealth of information. Visitors can search military veterans and personnel to make contact with old service buddies, set up reunions, chat online with other veterans, post military photos and share military jokes, obtain information on how to receive medals and military records, and more. VetFriends.com currently has over 857,000 members nationwide, attracting over 150,000 visitors per month.
After locating 52 men with the assistance of VetFriends.com, veteran R. Soden writes, "If it hadn't been for VetFriends.com I would have only kept track of one man in Iowa. Thank you VetFriends for getting me started! We love our vets. God bless you."
With the approach of Memorial Day, VetFriends.com encourages Americans to reflect and give thanks to the courage and honor of all US veterans and military. With this in mind, VetFriends.com will be promoting a nationwide Memorial Day parade directory, an online Memorial Day forum for visitors to share their thoughts, along with an online Casualty Memorial which can be viewed at https://www.vetfriends.com/
