Instead of trying to reach your family member only by cell phone, a new service, My Military Years, has created a way that you can keep in touch with loved ones through the Internet. Each individual will have their own private and secure web page where they can post text, audio and video messages. No longer do you have to rely on a paid service to do this because My Military Years is completely free.

While you might be struggling with email and Instant Messaging under normal circumstances, you will not have these problems with this new service. Instead, you will be able to talk to any family member through a secured server. This means that your messages will not be made public and you can enjoy talking with your family now.

Some of the examples of how you can use this service include:

Family announcements -- engagements, new births and more can be shown on your web page without fear that it will be broadcast to the world.

Family events --when your son or daughter is christened or has their Bat or Bar Mitzvah, you can tape the ceremony for your loved one on the site.

When the kids get unruly -- when the kids are stressed and they need to see mom or dad, they can see them now through the website and leave any message for them.

The creators of the site, AVGiri, LLC, hope that this will be one way that people can stay in touch with their relatives without having the hassle of bad communications.

More importantly, My Military Years provides a unique service in that you can build a living diary of all of your communications with your family on an ongoing basis, so that you will have a record of what happened throughout your time of duty and service, and beyond. In order to use the service all you have to do is register on MyMilitaryYears.com with your particular branch of service. This is a very user friendly website and you do not have to have any special software to benefit from it. They will show you step by step how to make the most out of your personal website page.
