ABOUT US

The Flag & General Officers’ Network (TFGON) was founded in 1995 and currently has more than 2,100 active duty, Reserve, Guard and retired Admirals and Generals as registered members.  There are no dues, and all activities and events are funded through corporate sponsors, attendees at networking events, and periodic voluntary, tax-deductible donations from members.  The only requirement for membership and participation is to have been promoted to O-7 or above in one of the eight U.S. Uniformed Services, including the six military branches as well as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps and the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.  Full details and FREE membership registration is available on the TFGON website:  https://www.flagandgeneralofficers.org.

As part of the application process, we require proof of identification to prevent identity theft and to ensure our members are or were bona fide U.S. Flag and General Officers.  This proof can be an image of either your Uniformed Services CAC or Retired ID card.  We will retain a copy of your ID in our secure platform and will not share it with other members or the public.  If you have any questions, please contact us at:  membership@flagandgeneralofficers.com.

TFGON is an IRS-approved official 501(c)(19) War Veterans organization incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia and managed, administered, and operated by an elected Board of Directors and elected officers.  We function with four standing committees along with an executive committee.  The Board consists of 21 members with representation from all uniformed services and rotates regularly.  All regular TFGON members are eligible to serve. Current board members can be viewed on the TFGON website.
