Virginia

"Sic Semper Tyrannis"

- State Motto

Virginia, the Old Dominion was the first of the original 13 colonies; was the 10th to join the United States of America. At the state's height, Virginia stretched from the Atlantic Ocean to St. Louis, and it is the birthplace of more presidents than any other state. Virginia played a vital role in America's independence, supplying many skilled soldiers and officers, including George Washington, along with throwing its substantial economic power into the struggle against England. The state prides itself on its tradition and sense of duty, even when these principled stands inflict a great personal cost.
