You don't know what other peoples' experiences have been in the same situation, and you don't wanna bring up bad memories or look like you're playing the pity card.

I don't necessarily agree. In some cases, it's sort of natural to mention these things.
I talked with a girl this fall who was from Joplin. It was sort of hard to avoid the topic, once she told the actives where her hometown is.
Same sort of thing for a PNM with a parent in the military. They don't really have one home town.
