"Virginia is the Birthplace of America" 

Virginia has shaped this great country since the founding of Jamestown in 1607. Jamestown, Virginia is the First Permanent English Settlement in what we now call the United States of America. Which makes it the starting point of America's history and the true Birthplace of America. Williamburg, Virginia, was the Capitol of the 13 Colonies from 1699 - 1776. And Yorktown, Virginia where the battle for Independence was won 1781. These 3 historical facts, just to name a few, reflects Virginia and its glorious place in American History. By adopting a new state slogan, and promoting Virginia as the place where America began, will bring a new pride to our state like no other. It will bring a new awareness to Virginia and American History in a whole. It will also increase tourism and bring more economic development to the state as people rediscover Virginia and it historical significance all over, in a way the world has never seen before. To reintroduce ourselves to the world that they will never forget our place in American History ever again.
