There are currently around 20 million U.S.
Military Veterans who served from WW2 to present
day. Many Veterans try to locate people they
served with to rekindle old memories and in some
cases to find witnesses to events that occurred
during their service for healthcare claims.

Unfortunately, the Veteran population is widely
dispersed and the chances of finding old friends
and acquaintances can be extremely difficult
especially if some of the following information
may not be available.

The exact information is always helpful but in
particular, make sure the name spelling is
correct. Together We Served Makes Finding
Veterans Much Easier! Together We Served (TWS)
is the largest online community of Veterans
existing today and is a powerful Veteran locator.
TWS enables Veterans to find those they served
with by matching the service information a
Veteran enters on their service profile on TWS
with the service information of all other
Veterans in its membership. People who served in
the same Units at the same time are then
displayed in a list making it easier to spot
familiar names and make contact. TWS is
particularly helpful to Veterans because the
different service branches do not stay in touch
with Veterans once they leave the service and the
Veterans Administration do not share Veterans
information for search purposes.

TWS has a membership of 1.7 million Veterans and
thousands of Veterans join its ranks every month
steadily increasing the opportunity for Veterans
to find people they served with. If you are a
Veteran searching for old service friends, TWS
can help. For more information, visit
