While this site is for Florida, there are national service organizations also listed: http://www.vvof.org/vvoflink.htm Information is relevant to all era vets every where. A very encompassing page of info sources. Feel free to post your info sites here if it is not covered by this list of sites.
I didn't see a link for www.hadit.com . They are a group of veterans who have Had It! with the VA. If you have a claim for service connection or other issues with the VA then this is a site with lots of info, links and a discussion board which is very active. Kirk
I was wondering about a guy I used to know, he served in Nam, in the Navy. We were very close for a while. He just up and disappeared though, that was over 20 years ago, and I still think of him, I wish I knew how to find him, I have looked on websites, but never came up with anything. I would love to talk to him again. Any ideas on how to locate a navy guy? He was originally from Arizona, and would be about 60 years old now.
Looking for old military friends? The Marines Corps originally had a website that is basically a "my space" type of forum where you can have your own area and use them to find each other. Both DH and I have been "found" by some old friends as well as looking up some folks. I knew that the USMC and the Navy had a site. Now it looks like the USAF has one and the Army's should be up soon. http://www.togetherweserved.com Hope this helps get some lost buddies back together.... Net

Compensation and Pension Is the M21 Manual http://www.benefits.va.gov/WARMS/Site_Map.asp To get advice from the people that have gone through the VA process, I would HIGHLY suggest this site. When I was on there alot, it was mostly Viet Nam vets. http://vets.yuku.com/directory Thank You for serving, and I hope the sites help you as much as they did me. Welcome Home! PS; God Bless Chesty Puller..where ever you are!
The ELKS in Easton, MD, have a member who collects clothes and things for Veterans, and he takes them himself - don't know which facility he takes them to, but I understand this is a very serious and heartfelt duty he has. I may check at any Elks around here and see if they have someone who does this. My husband is gone now but he was a VietNam vet. s.
