Proud living in Rural America


Our family moved about once every two years during the 28 we spent on active duty in the Army. We lived in many regions of the U.S. (urban and rural), and spent several years overseas. I grew up in the south, my wife in the north. So, it's fair to say we've seen a lot of what the country has to offer. Having lived where we do now in a rural region of Southern Virginia, I have to say it's by far our favorite location. I'm sure many others like me have equally favorite places…rural and urban. What connects us all is the fact we're Americans. And today, I'm pretty darn proud to be one.
