Togetherweserved.com (TWS), an online community with a membership of over 2.3 million U.S. Veterans, has been preserving the military service stories of its Veterans for over 20 years. TWS is seen as an important archive of living military history.

Since its launch 20 years ago, Togetherweserved.com (TWS), the leading online community of U.S. Veterans, has provided its 2.3 million members the special opportunity to not only reconnect with the people they served with, but to also preserve a detailed record of their military service, including unlimited photographs. This is so their families and future generations will know what they did serving our country.

For many Veterans, military service was a life-changing time that provided the kinds of experiences that few in the civilian world can possibly understand. One of the most enduring aspects of serving is the strength of relationships formed with those who shared those same experiences, often under dangerous and challenging conditions.
