Abstract
Many military veterans and service members do not like to use currently available social media channels to stay in touch with other vets they have served with. A social network exclusively for military veterans could help them stay in touch with those they have served with to discuss and help each other on various issues. In this social network, they could form groups, chat, send mail messages, highlight places where they have been deployed to, post pictures and videos of their experiences, and even rate their experiences. They could use all the features available in a typical social media group on this website. This social media group, in addition to being available on a webpage, could be integrated into their smart phone applications. Through this, the veterans could share their experiences, form a support system, and keep sensitive information to themselves.
