You did it. You have that DD-214 in hand and your commitment to the US Military is over. Thank you for your service, and it’s time to move on (literally). For the first time in maybe your entire adult life, you can create a homestead and settle down for a while. Wow, that’s a scary thought for some. More than two or three years in one place?! Is that possible? A detour to the Bahamas may sound appetizing, since you’ve spent the last decade or two serving your country, and you should do something to celebrate and relieve the upcoming stress.

Over the years, many lawmakers and former Vets have put benefits into place as a thank you for serving. Collectively, states spend more than $6 Billion annually on Veterans and their families.
