Today, the great State of Wyoming, the Equality State, is celebrating her 125th anniversary of statehood. Wyoming is a wondrous place, boasting our Nation's first national park, first national forest, and first national monument. Wyoming's scenic treasures are second to none in the world. Our vast stores of resources--coal, uranium, timber, oil, gas, soda ash, and rare earth elements--all provide critical resources for our Nation. Wyoming's freedom-loving, hard-working people have a deep sense of place and seamlessly weave the fabric of stewardship into it, inspiring the entire country and, really, the whole world. I am proud to call Wyoming America's 44th star, my love, my life, and my home. I wish her a blessed 125th year of statehood. ____________________
