HOW IT STARTED: CombatVets.net, org, com was registered in October, 1999. This Veteran Service Organization was a subsidiary of Internet Commercial Advantage Inc. (INTCA). INTCA assets were picked up by LovedOnes Inc. and assumed control of IT support for the CombatVets Network. It continues to provide member services and publishes free Bio's / Memorials for CombatVets via it's new system called Community@CombatVets.net". Any shortfall in funding has been handled by Editors and LovedOnes Inc.
In 1998 Tom Twitty a Vietnam Vet was appointed Managing Editor of the American Ex-Prisoners of War " EX-POW Bulletin Magazine"
which was established in 1942. His work was responsible for the upgrade of this national magazine to a full color coated stock and the creation of it's new Logo and Website. This exposure to Veteran
publishing defined the need for a Veterans Interactive Website with more information available to all Veterans. CombatVets.net offered self publishing of Veterans Bio's and Memorial Capability. The www.CombatVets.net website offers membership to Combat Veterans and Families without fanfare, dues meetings and parades. Mr. Twitty
served with the U.S. Army 231st
Reserves unit based in St. Petersburg, FL. This unit was activated and saw action threw out the Mekong Delta of Vietnam in 1968-69. See
