There were towns like that even in the post Viet Nam era, I lived in one, Millis, Massachusetts. As a Viet Nam Veteran Myself never did I ever feel unwelcome there.

Same here, My Dad, Two uncles, My Mom's aunt all were military veteran's. We never lost contact even when i was in service and when I returned home it was like I never left. I think I did ok standing on my own two feet anyway, if I decided to do something I had a goal for i Did. I didn't have a problem making decisions.

I'm appreciative that my Brother also serves so I have someone to talk to about stuff. We've written each other more then our family has written us, and Skyped more as well. I've tried to include them by telling stories about things I've experienced with my Unit or from Basic and I get a lot of blank stares or sometimes things are said like, "Well you joined the Army". Clearly missing the joke or point of the story.
They definitely care and are willing to assist with many things, just don't seem to know how to respond about anything involving the military. We are sort of a military family, where I have grandparents, cousins and uncles who formerly served and some who still are. Though it is a bit spread out in the family.
