The State of Florida has launched an initiative to attract veterans from other states, especially young ones. According to the state-formed website VeteransFlorida.org, here are several reasons why veterans will like Florida; (1) there are "no taxes on personal income, military pensions, inheritance, gifts, or intangible property" for vets; (2) every Florida resident receives $25,000 homestead property tax exemption with additional breaks for disabled veterans; (3) thanks to Florida's GI Bill, the state gives in-state tuition rates to all veterans, spouses and dependents of veterans; (4) free tuition is also an option for those who have received the Purple Heart or several other combat decorations. For more information, visit the Veterans Florida website.
