Hi from the USA

Emails from OREGON, USA

Michal wrote us a letter asking where are some places we like to go. Elana likes to go to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to see historical things like the Liberty Bell and our Declaration of Independence, and Betsy Ross's house (she created our first American flag). Ashlee likes to go to California to visit an amusement park called Disneyland. Sam thinks Montana is a cool place for vacation. Spencer likes St. Louis, Missouri to visit grandparents, to see a favorite hocky team (the Blues) and to do lots of fun things in the big city.

... You know when we were talking about Indians. I have a hero story to tell you. When the United States fought the Japanese during World War II, they used the Navajo servicemen to develop codes to win the war. They were called the Navajo Code Talkers. The Japanese were not able to break the codes.
