Our country is still the best their is in this world we must get our priorities and love back on track for all nations fall if we let greed and hate take the lead .

It is wonderful for those who have lived in the US part or all of their lives to see the point of view of someone who has not, the things that stand out. I tend to forget to notice things so familiar, when i lived in Washington DC i rarely went to see any sights unless a visitor came to to town...so this reminds me to notice some things...very well done...thanks...PK

P.S
You do deserve a clappy, because it took effort to organize those facts and shows you indeed do have a passion for America.
-
I will probably be the only one to admit to this. I did not read this all the way through. It's a listing of facts. Very interesting facts, no doubt, but not very poetic. I hope you aren't too offended by my honesty. I could see these printed in a travel guide however.
-
sorry but this piece is way too long for me to read right now as my eyes are pretty tired i will return to it later perhaps.

Charleston is the State capital of West Virginia
Known as The Mountain State
West Virginia is famous for
Once part of neighbouring Virginia
Until it became a separate state in 1863
The first organised golf club in America
Is in West Virginia,the oakhurst links in
White Sulphur Springs was established in 1884

WOW! Now this is truly amazing...all the wonderful facts on every state written so well...as I read them I smiled remembering some of the things I love so much about many of the states I have lived in. Honestly, you could put some of us who live here to shame, for I am sure many do not know as much as you have written on all the beautiful state that make up our country...truly a wonderful dedication to this beautiful country of ours...
Thank you, you have honored us all.
Love,
