Mission Critical: How to Find a Veteran

Those who have served in the U. S. Armed Forces come away from the experience enriched beyond description. Whether it is the honor of being in the first line of defense of our nation, the skills and discipline that are learned, or the bonds that are forged, serving our country is a memory for life.

Those bonds are the reason behind Together We Served (TWS). If you are wondering how to find a veteran, Together We Served may be your best solution.

How to find a veteran of the U.S. Army

Unfortunately, the U.S. Army does not provide locator services. Fortunately, however, Army veterans can utilize the services of TWS by combining our database of over 415,000 U.S. Army veterans.

By finding a member of your boot camp, unit, or duty station, you can help both yourself and your fellow veteran. That's because many times, U.S. Army veterans need a special type of support that can be provided only by someone with whom they served.

Learn how to find a veteran of the U.S. Air Force

One of the reasons that Air Force Veterans come to TWS to find each other is the Air Force experience itself. Many years ago, the Air Force established itself as the most difficult branch of service to join. As a result, a feeling of exclusivity developed and strengthened the bonds of Air Force Veterans.

To find an Air Force Veteran, search the database of over 216,000 Air Force Veterans in the TWS database.

How to Find a Veteran of the Navy, Marines, or Coast Guard? Check TWS

Together We Served is the nation's premier online community dedicated to helping people find a veteran. Each day, we connect Americans who have proudly worn the uniform of each branch of the United States military.

For any branch of the service, the more information you can provide, the more successful you will be in locating the Veteran you seek. Information such as the entry date and/or discharge date can be particularly helpful.

The key is the comprehensive military records posted by the Veterans themselves, including memories and photographs. By using TWS, you never have to worry or wonder whether your contact is welcome because our members have chosen to participate.

Through its powerful Veteran locator, TWS enables Veterans to find those with whom they served by matching the service information entered on their TWS Military Service Page with the service information of all other Veterans in its membership. As a TWS member, you can review matching members and connect with fellow Veterans.

Many Veterans try to locate people they served to re-establish friendships. Sometimes, however, one Veteran needs to find another because they need a witness to a specific event or for medical claims purposes.

Whatever your reason for wanting to reconnect, TWS can show you how to find a veteran.
