    I was born and raised in West Virginia and still live there. I've been to 35 different states and 13 other countries and I wouldn't trade my home for anything else.

    I live right on the banks of the New River. People joke about our slow way of life and lack of cities, but it's how we like it.

    I was born in Kosice, in former Czechoslovakia. After the invasion of my old country by Russia in 1968 I left the country and emigrated to US. I stayed in NY for 4 years and after that I found my NEW home in West Virginia and I am here ever since. I woudn;t live anywhere else!<br>Mike F.

    I was born in West Virginia in 1957. &nbsp;I was raised her, graduated high school and went into the Air Force in 1978. &nbsp;I came back in 1998 after I retired from the Air Force right back into within 2 miles of where I left. &nbsp;I have lived in 8 foreign countries and have visited 40 other ones! &nbsp;I have been back for over 28 years and will never leave again. &nbsp;I love it here and the life is so much slower and calmer than other states!

    Born, raised and still/always will live here. Always find it amusing what others think of us.

    I&apos;ve been all over this country, and nowhere feels more like america than the beautiful west virginia mountains outside my back door. &nbsp;Anytime you feel this country has lost its way, I welcome you to come to West Virginia and visit real America.

    I am a native WVian. We like things like they are. You can visit, or even move here. But DO NOT try to change us.
