You are spot on target. From Taiwan, to many other Asian countries to include Vietnam that damn sure was 3rd world one learns how great America is. Even Germany was down in 1957-60, and; we had Germans dig through our trash cans. Sad. Of all the places in America I love they are the historical plus the beautiful places well out of the way. Flaming Gorge looking from the Wyoming side to the Utah side at sunset is a sight few will forget. I grew up where history was all around us in upstate, NY plus we lived in VA. Yes, Yorktown is a battlefield that is as historic as any. The beauty of the Rockies near Vail and West back to the Adirondacks, the Smokies, plus so much more is why men have fought plus the freedoms only America has.
You can’t go anywhere in Upstate NY and not see some historic site.
