This has been an exciting couple years at Navy Vets! We've had steady growth and are nearing 2,000 members. I've tried a couple times to boost that number by purchasing advertising but nothing seems to really perform as well as word of mouth within our community!
The site is actually producing more revenue from the advertising monthly now than it costs (whew!) so I'm looking forward to this year to see how we can move forward and begin to give back to Navy Vets. Our goal has always (and still is) to become a non-profit that supports Veterans' causes.
We know that no one cares about Veterans as much as our own brothers and sisters... so we'll work to get those means in place.
Thanks for making this a special community. Special thanks to my father, William Karr, for helping welcome new members and keeping an eye on the community. I've launched my own business this year so I haven't participated as much as I would like to.
Some of you folks are really active, like Deanna Little, who always is pushing out more blog posts. (Thanks Deanna!) That's just too cool. I have some bumper stickers and books here at the apartment that I need to get in the mail to you folks!
Doug,
Thanks for making this site. I think you know that I am a "Boot" on this site. I did not know this site was here until I joined Facebook. It is good to be able to talk to people who have been there or are there now. I hope to be a lot more envolved. Again, Thanks.
Doug, still hang'n with you been bout three years now. Still enjoy the site very much…..we've seen some grim times come and go. Also some heated conversations, but all in all it's been the best veteran site I've seen yet….Congrats on bust'n 2000 members……Blue

Thanks for all your hard work and obviously the finances that you have had to provide in order to make this site available for all of us vets. The info that I've found on the blogs has been great! Much appreciated!
