Hampton Roads -- made up of the cities of Newport News, Hampton, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake -- is the east coast epicenter of military activity.

Along with a huge Navy footprint the region hosts major Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard facilities. As a result the area is extremely "military friendly" in all respects.

Welcome to Hampton Roads.
