Is RallyPoint the only resource to search for Veterans?

I need to search for a veteran who I served with and cannot find him. I know veterans who like to keep to themselves and he maybe one of them.

TWS also is a site used by veterans, but you have to pay to belong

Just Google the name and hometown.

That’s what I did for the friend mentioned in my response to SSG Carlos Madden ‘s query about the best shoe polish for sit shines.

Some names may appear, several commercial sites that will “cost $” sites will appear.

I continue clicking until I find a free site and then go down the list of names presented as I look for a match with the approximate age of whomever I am looking for.

Telephone numbers usually appear also. Once I have called all of those numbers to no avail, I conclude my subject has passed on. Then I Google his wife’s name, if that telephone number is no longer in service - I say a short ‘Goodbye’.

Hardly. Try Together We Served. They connect you automatically from the moment you sign in. RP hasn't facilitated one connection for me since Day One.

Many military units have Facebook groups and are a great place to find buddies from many years ago.
