Together We Served provides virtual base for connecting Veterans - VAntage Point

During a Veteran’s military service, their base, ship or shore station is place to call home – a safe haven to share in the company of some of the finest men and women with a mission in common.

With its membership containing only active serving and Veterans, TWS provides a secure platform for all Veterans to engage with other Veterans on a level that is simply not possible in most social networking environments.

The Together We Served website provides a virtual base for connecting Veterans and active military. Join today and get a free one-year premium membership.
