How many of us veterans and retirees live close to where we grew up and/or near other family members?

My parents moved from England to this country just before I was born. I grew up in and around Philadelphia, PA. I moved around while in the military and ended up living (at least for now) near where I was last stationed in northern Virginia. A large part of my extended family in in Europe. However, my American cousins families and one of my two sisters families live within an hour from me as do two of my four sons.

Joined the military while still in high school in Washington State (Nat'l Guard), 1984, left for USMC boot camp in 1987, went back once on leave in 1989, haven't seen it since. Alabama is home now.

Sounds like you probably like the warmer weather in Alabama. I also expect the cost of living is lower in Alabama MSG Donald R. Lee, M.B.A.. From everything I have heard Huntsville, AL is a great place to live.
