My Vetwork: Calling all Comrades!

Posted at 02:20 PM on Thursday, November 13, 2008 by post8560

VFW is proud to announce a 21st century communications tool designed to reach out to those we serve. VFW invites you to join MyVetwork, which was  launched Veterans Day, is a free online community, created specifically for active-duty military, retired military, veterans, military families and VFW supporters.   

Designed by VFW member John R. Campbell, a former Marine and Vietnam veteran,  MyVetwork facilitates an information exchange with those who share similar experiences and interests.  Connections can run the gamut—from lighthearted and entertaining, to deep and meaningful exchange--bringing our veterans community together in ways simply not possible before.

MyVetwork allows VFW to easily create our own online groups, relevant to our interests and individual skill sets.  It can be used for both social and professional networking, a service not previously available within the veterans’ community. And if you’re interested in mentoring younger veterans, MyVetwork facilitates that, too. 

We are asking you to help populate the community—the more who sign on, the more valuable our exchange will be. Go to  http://www.myvetwork.com  and create your profile, which takes about 3 minutes.  Check out the VFW group.  You are encouraged you to share it throughout your departments and create a subgroup for your own department, post or other special interest groups.

VFW would like strong representation on the site, set to launch this Veterans Day, so please take advantage of this opportunity to revolutionize the way we serve our veterans and stay connected to one another!

If you have any questions or would like assistance creating a group for your Department or Post contact Gloria Montgomery (VFW Communications) at gmontgomery@vfw.org.
