I am still looking for a site where you can find veteran's/ buddies I was with while in the military. I have used military.com, veteran finders. I have googled and googled. I have yet to find a particular site. I am looking for a site that will allow one to put in particular dates and hopefully be able to find who was all in that time frame and "MAYBE" who was in a particular unit. None of the known sites have this option. I am wondering if there is something I am over looking. I have searched "ALL" of the obvious. Thanks in advance for you help.

Here is a great website that I used to find my father who was in Vietnam. While HE isnt signed onto the website, I have gotten emails from others who helped ALOT. Many are members of paying websites where they can search for the service member. I got information about his military career as well as his last known address. Check it out and I hope it helps you!

I'm sorry, but military.com is the best website out there for searching for vets. I started planning for a reunion. At first, I found maybe 5 within the first week. A year later, I have found over 45. Many have called my home phone or emailed me after so many years. When I talk to one, I always ask if they have any idea where "so in so" went or from what state he/she was from. You can also use whitepages.com if you find out where a person lives. The vet finders is a really good source, probably the best. Be patient in your search. If you give me some info, maybe I can help.

It sounds like you have already searched in all of the usual places. maybe you can try classmates.com which has a military section.
I agree with and have had similar results as the first answerer, pompanopete0.
Keep trying, tho. Perhaps one of your old buddies will someday decide to join up at military.com or similar sites for vets.

Problem is your buddies must be signed up somewhere ,, to BE found.
Unless, like me, the information is available to the public, by my choice, and for that reason.
I have not found a single "Vietnam" brother in almost 40 years,, I can only say Good Luck.
Try using your military records to gain info, orders and awards usually list others that were with you.

I don't have time to check but I think this site worked that way. I know that at least one did work like that. Also, several of the unit sites have date research by unit. These are division size units. Good luck.

Build a website, there's lots of places you can go that allow you to build free webpages. You could advertise on myspace or something like that.

classmates.com does have a military search you can put in your units and when you were there but they have to be signed up there.
