In Virginia what are the people most proud of?
Virginia provided four of the first five presidents of the United States and eight of them were born in Virginia -- more than any other state. Virginia was one of the first 13 colonies and Virginians played a major role in the American revolution. Virginia has the top-ranked public school system in the country (it's also one of the largest school systems), despite a very diversive student body that comes from nearly every country in the world (many of those students don't speak English when they first enter the public schools), as well as the top-ranked public high school in the country. The Norfolk area has a major military presence, a large naval base, and large shipyards and a proud tradition of military service to our country. The state is also known for its high quality tobacco and peanuts.
