Interesting list but guaranteed to be false given the "criteria". People want their own personal mix of features. It assumes a high percentage of Vets wants that mix. Sometimes it's getting as far away from anything military. My first FB post when I moved out to Northern Idaho was I moved 430 miles away in part to get away from the Navy. To a small town, with a small high school, with a small band that through two basketball games only seems to know how to play Anchors Aweigh. God save me.

I would have to disagree with this top 4 selection. I'm more incline to the Northwest, Southeast and Northeast regions of the U.S.

KC seems like a solid city -- visited there for the first time last NYE and had a great time. Don't know much at all about the city in general, though.

Well, I'm impartial to VB as that is my hometown. My dad retired from the Army in VB and there were so many benefits for military and veterans.

I can't say what a great place to live would be. However, I can tell you one of the worst places, Shreveport/Bossier City, Louisiana. Although the cost of living is not bad, the job market sucks and Shreveport has bad crime. If I could move I would.

Foxboro Massachusetts.. Our small city has a full time Veterans Affairs Advocate located in the Town Hall Building ..He was great when I moved here from California. Last month he organized a Candle Light Vigil for the 4 marines and sailor who were killed in Chattanooga He also makes arrangements for military funerals for us veterans ..helped to transfer my VA paperwork to the VA in West Roxbury. He also gave me a list of retail shops that give military discounts to retired and former service members. Not too bad for a retired Army Lt Col who graduated from Norwich Academy but likes us old Marines.
