I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Have any of you guys found a friend on those 'veteran locator' websites. The few I checked out all want you to join or subscribe. I am a frugal man, and was hoping there was a free central registry. I reconnected with a bunch of shipmates thru Facefugg. I hate the platform but it was good for finding friends from 30 years ago.
