The nation gained its 34th state on Jan. 29, 1861, officially putting our home on the range on the map. Located at what would become the heart of the United States, Kansas can seem at the center of many defining American issues, too — from the bloody struggle over slavery and bar-splintering crusade against liquor to the more contemporary fights over abortion and evolution. “To the stars through difficulties” still fits.

As I told my kids at school the other day, Kansans achieve their dreams through hard work and struggles. We are hearty people! I am very proud to be a Kansan!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KANSAS!
I find it very sad that with all the very expressive bloggers that post regularly, that only one person posted at this site. I guess we are too busy saving the world, or at least pushing our opinions onto other people to stop for one moment and declare that I am very proud to be a Kansan. Ben a number of other places in my life and have always came “home” to Kansas.
