I only read this thread for 30 seconds until I saw this: I lived in this town until I was about 11 years old. It's a small town, and not a "military" town by any means. Round Lake is not near any military base - maybe 30 miles to Great Lakes near Chicago, that's it. I rarely saw or met anyone military, even during Vietnam.
