About Honor Bound

A self-hosted community for U.S. military veterans to find each other, share experience, and reconnect with people they served with.

Why verification?

Veteran communities work best when members can trust they're talking to other veterans. We use DD-214 review (redacted, admin-reviewed) to verify service. ID.me OAuth integration is supported when configured.

Privacy by default

• Profiles default to verified veterans only.
• Real names are private unless you choose to show them.
• Location defaults to state-level only.
• You can hide your profile from the directory entirely.
