Fifth place. Not great. Sure, not as bad as Oregon, Washington DC, Nevada and Vermont (Vermont coming in last place) but certainly we can do a better job of making sure our military retirees are taken care of.

This study from WalletHub took into account economic environment, quality of life and health care into this list.

Best state goes to Virginia. Shout out to Virginia!
