For years, maybe decades, members of the military have lived where the U.S. government has told them to live.
So when that discharge paperwork comes through, how do they decide where to go?
Among large cities, Virigina Beach, Va., ranked No. 1 for best places to live, with Colorado Springs, Colo., and San Antonio, Texas, in second and third place, respectively.
Whereas Alexandria, Va., ranked No. 1 for medium cities and Arlington, Va., followed in second place. Centennial, Colo., came in third for vets in medium cities, according to the rankings.
And as far as small cities, Glen Burnie, Md., topped the list. Bethesda, Md. and Ellicott City, Md., were named second- and third-best destinations.
Many veterans don’t stray far from the military bases they were assigned to, government data indicates, and some will return to cities they were previously stationed.
That’s probably a big factor behind a veteran population in San Antonio, Texas, at more than 100,000, said Bob Murdock, director of the city’s Office of Military Affairs.
