WHY BALTIMORE?

BALTIMORE

"CHARM CITY"

BALTIMORE HAS IT ALL

Whatever a veteran seeks for education, we will assist in applying their benefits to the schooling of their choice. For those veterans interested in a getting a four year degree, Baltimore is home to TEN universities. For those veterans not ready for (or interested in) a four year program, Baltimore City Community College offers a different solution. Baltimore City is also home to tech and trade schools teaching the vocational skills to prepare the veteran for a civilian career.

When the work day is done and it's time to relax, Baltimore has many options for those with a sporting interest. For fans of professional sports--our home team Orioles, Ravens and Blast bring the best athletes in the world here to watch their talents. If the passion of amateur sports is more the flavor, the local colleges and universities provide exciting and competitive teams. If the veteran prefers to get out and play sports, there are adult leagues offering everything from the common sports of flag football, basketball, soccer and softball, plus more socially oriented games like bocce, shuffleboard and kickball. Baltimore hosts a marathon each year and has many running clubs for those veterans wanting to stay in shape and make new friends. The Forest Park golf course is just minutes away from Park Heights and offers a nice track to spoil a good walk. The Pimlico race track hosts the Preakness (the second race in the Triple Crown series) and attracts over 100,000 people plus the eyes of the nation for the exciting event.
