Welcome to the Commons. We started this site to bring everyone that serves past and present and their loved ones together. Right now all our branches are separate and have no means to network or share information through one source. Well this is it. You ask for it and we will bring it to you. This is your Commons and we just bring it to you for free. That’s right, there is no catch. It’s a way to say thank you for all that you do.

Now the formalities are over, I also want to say this is for fun also. When you here you should be interested in what’s here, and meet great people. If you have a comment, complaint, or just want to talk about what’s going on then do it! Email us! Us the Forum! We are building this entirely for you and this is a living project. This site will change on a regular basis and new things will be added as things that are not used will be deleted.
