Can you connect me with a veteran and/or contact a veteran on my behalf?

Unfortunately, due to privacy concerns and staff resources, we are not able to distribute contact information for veterans, nor can we contact individual veterans on behalf of Library patrons. That said, there are many search services (both free and for a fee) on the internet that are often helpful in assisting in locating a person (we cannot endorse any particular service). You may also have some luck in a general online search for the veteran’s name and home state.
