VetFriends.com Remembers our Fallen Heroes - While Reuniting U.S. Veterans and Military
Charleston, S.C. (May 2, 2007) - Many of the nation's U.S. military veterans curious about the whereabouts of their past service buddies, visit www.VetFriends.com - the largest Web site for reuniting veterans, active military, family and friends. As Memorial Day approaches, VetFriends.com encourages all Americans to give thanks to the brave men and women who have served our country. It is a time for togetherness and honor, a time to remember our fallen heroes and thank our veterans and military.
|
Currently, there are 29 million U.S. veterans, of which 80% served during a time of conflict. They hold their veteran status in high regard and with intense loyalty. U.S. veteran and 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."

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 U.S. 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.
