This time of year when Independence Day is on all of our minds, we tend to take stock in why America is a beautiful place to live.
But what about each state’s contributions? What is it about Michigan that makes us the most patriotic state in all of the land? We’ve got a few insights that should really make you proud to be a Michigander. Have a look.
- Our state pride can’t be matched.

So there you have it. That’s why you should love being a Michigander during this time of reverence for our great nation.
