Tampa Bay is known for a lot of great things, but we didn’t know that it’s one of the best cities for Veterans! Wallethub released a study recently that proved that Tampa is one of the best places for Veterans. They compared the 100 largest U.S. cities across 20 key indicators of livability, affordability and veteran-friendliness. Other factors include share of military skill-related jobs and availability of VA health facilities.
According to the Veterans Association, there are over 18.5 million veterans currently living in the U.S. Re-entering civilian life is never easy.
