Does anyone know if the National Veteran Search and Rescue website is legitimate?

I saw a Facebook post concerning Michael Alexander Rickard who is advertised as missing and while I don't know him but allegedly being a local Veteran I wasted no time in sharing. I did not recognize the National Veteran Search and Rescue name or logo and with as many groups and organizations that attempt to use a Veteran affiliation whose purposes are questionable I figured best to check out their actual website http://www.nationalvetsar.org which came back as parked for free by Go Daddy. Now warning klaxtons are ringing loudly have I been duped? I dig further and see Twitter, Google+ and YouTube sites come up. I go to the Twitter site and it shows their last post was quite some time ago then Google+ and YouTube also seem out of date or aren't being used then I search Rally Point and nothing comes up. Now my concern grows deeper and I really want to know if they are legitimate or not and I am hopeful that someone here can shed some light on this question. Thank You This is the original link that I shared: https://www.facebook.com/MISSINGWARRIORALERT/?hc_ref=ARSdsTnfojeqWTbpUFwpY6MTdvLx4GlbRTz_bFvdY4Ox0g3Uebbn7wb4iBEBjR2N0L8&fref=nf
