Helpful Tips for Your U.S. Navy Online Veteran Search

One of the reasons why the U.S. Navy has such a robust veteran search demand is because of its rich history. Navy veterans feel particularly proud of their service and the relationships they forged.

The U.S. Navy was officially formed on October 13, 1775 during the Revolutionary War after Gen. George Washington seized three vessels flying the British flag. While the existing online veteran search records do not go back that far in time, our records are extensive. Here are three U.S. Navy veteran search tips to help you:

  1. Be wary of false Navy veteran organizations. On occasion, a veteran search or support organization will appear and seem to be legitimate, but caution is best. Such was the case in 2010 when it was discovered that the United States Navy Veterans Assoc. was a front for criminal activity with very little money going to support Navy veterans.
  2. Gather as much identifying information as you can, including the branch of service, the unit or company location, entry and discharge dates, birthdate, social security number and their birth city. The more information you have available to you, the better your chances for success.
  3. Be sure of the correct spellings during your online veteran search. With millions of records to comb, one small typo in your U.S. Navy veteran search can return false veteran search results or no records at all.
  4. Use Together We Served for your U.S. Navy veteran search.

TWS: A Veteran Search Resource Created by Veterans

Since 2003, Together We Served (TWS) has been helping veterans and their loved ones conduct an online veteran search to find a person of interest. Our online veteran search database is over 1.6 million and growing rapidly.

Our goal is simple: We want to create a unique forum for all service members, run by service members, sharing real-life history in their own words, and providing a virtual meeting place with detailed, honest, and authentic recounting of the military experiences of our members. Unlike the fixed database of the U.S. government, TWS is creating a live history of these experiences, updated daily by our members.

Today, TWS has more than 1.6 million members and has reconnected more servicemen and women than any other website or organization. The miracle of reunions happens every day thanks to the veteran search services we provide and nothing could give us more satisfaction.
