Social media outlets for veterans

An open letter to American service men and women:

I never served a single day, so I am always humbled in the presence of those who have.

The very least I can do is dedicate a blog post to the men and women much braver and more deserving of our freedom than I.

To those who have served and those who have lost: Thank you.

That’s all I know to say, and yet it seems so desperately inadequate.

My kids are now old enough to have the discussion about the meaning, the costs and the responsibility of freedom.

While my wife and I construct and deliver that moment, please enjoy this brief and incomplete list of Internet-based efforts being undertaken for you.

• Warrior Gateway aims to connect Iraq and Afghanistan veterans
• An article about and short list of blogs for service personnel
• National Archives Social Networks
• The Department of Defense social media sites
• Online resources for personnel leaving or retiring from service
• VFW Social Media sites
• A nice list of US military-related blogs

I hope something here benefits you or someone you love.

With sincere appreciation,

Mike
