Touchstone opened in 2006; we’ve been in business longer than any of our competitors (check domain registrations, and the Internet Wayback Machine). In the passing years, other military record “expeditors” have come and gone while Touchstone has thrived. Touchstone completes more record requests per unit time than all of our competitors combined. We have completed well over 150,000 requests, from E1s to a few O8s, that’s Privates to Generals for the layperson. These veterans know how the Government works and whom to go to for their records. Our positive reviews which you can read at our website, are legion. Our business from our client referrals, alone, exceeds any one of our competitors total business. Why have we grown to this pre-eminent position? Simply stated: no one knows more about military records, and no one can get you your record faster! Why? The majority of our researchers are former federal military records center personnel, and base spouses, which gives us unsurpassed and unprecedented access to military records centers, several of which are on bases closed-to-public-access.
