After reuniting with a Vietnam service buddy through VetFriends.com, veteran K. David Herbert writes to VetFriends.com:
"A couple of months after posting my photo, I received an e-mail from VetFriends saying someone was trying to get in touch with me. It turned out to be the photographer of my picture and a friend... We have since been exchanging e-mails and he has even added a few pictures of his own to VetFriends too... It was fantastic to hear from him. Thank you VetFriends."
