Montana Makes Top Ten Most Patriotic States
Wallethub has published an article on America's most patriotic states for 2016. Where did Montana land? Well when I think of America, I really do think Montana embodies a lot of what we consider patriotic.
12 key elements were factored in that had to do with military engagement, voting habits and civil-education requirements. Unfortunately they say that patriotism is dropping, only 28% of americans thought America is the greatest country.
Overall Montana scored a 54.87 and ranked at number 7. Making the top ten only makes sense to me but then again like I said, I find Montana very patriotic.
Top five were:
Virginia, Alaska, South Carolina, Colorado and Georgia.
