Everyone is posting the map of states they would or wouldn’t live in. Here’s mine.
I would rather live in any random state in America than anywhere else on the planet. I’m not exaggerating.
This is the greatest country in the world, and each one of our 50 states is a unique, wonderful place to build a life for oneself, raise a family, and contribute to one’s community.
Red or blue, north or south, landlocked or coastal, colony in New England or island in the Pacific, none of the matters compared to our shared citizenship in the greatest nation this world has ever seen.
We’re all blessed to be here as fellow countrymen. Every acre of this land is sacred, every inch is worth fighting for, and every one of our states is a place I’d be grateful to call my home. There’s literally nowhere else in the world I could even imagine raising my family.
I love this country, and I love all my fellow Americans. I hope each of you has a great weekend, no matter which of these 50 states you call home.

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
