Camp Pendleton, California, USA

If you have been a U.S. Marine since World War II, you may have spent some time at Camp Pendleton. Not only has it served the defense needs of the United States, it has also had the effect of allowing nature to have her way with at least a small part of the Pacific coastline. Today is Veterans Day. [1992]

San Francisco, California, USA

Racial and ethnic minorities now make up more than half of those Americans who are eight years of age and under. "We are a nation of many colors." And that is something we should be proud of. [2016]

Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

"We are a nation of many colors," and "Somos una Nacion de muchos colores." That is something we all need to remember over the next four years. [2016]

New York, New York, USA

If you believe the future of the world will be determined by what happens in the United States today, then go out and VOTE. "The end is at hand": The end of the too-long Presidential campaign, that is. Finally! [2002]

Talcott, West Virginia, USA

Right outside the old Big Bend Tunnel stands a steel-drivin' man named John Henry, one of the most famous African-American heroes of all time. He cut through those rocks with his hammer and ended his life proving that tried-and-true brawn was stronger than the new-fangled steam drill made for such tasks. "Go John Henry." [2016]

Nekoma, North Dakota, USA

Grain silos thread together the landscapes of the Great Plains. Just imagine the day when grains were sacked in burlap to be taken to market. Expect to find a rail depot nearby? [2012]

Reston, Virginia, USA

If it's Saturday, you know that something must be going on around Lake Anne in Reston, Virginia. Ever wonder where the name Reston came from? Robert E. Simon ("RES-town"). And, there he sits still watching over the 'new town' he began in the early 1960s. [2016]
