50 years ago June 30th, Alaska became the 49th state. Wynonna Judd and Naomi came here last night and did a free concert at Elmendort AFB and it was broadcast live here. That woman can sing!! What a voice.
She connected a 14 year old girl to her Daddy in Iraq and the girl was crying so hard, all she could say was 'Hi Dad'. I sobbed like a baby. It was heart breaking. She has not seen her Dad in a year. Anyway....Except the fact that we are not getting summer this year (still!), we are having a great time celebrating all over the state. Hope all are well and happy and safe! Jeannie

Thanks for the reminder!
We have a 48 star flag from before Alaska and Hawaii became states. We don't fly it but it's a nice reminder that not ALL of our states were states during the last century! It's hard to believe that Hawaii became a state AFTER I was born! (They became a state on August 21, 1959!) Happy Birthday Alaska!!!

What I'd like to know is how Alaska became part of the US, so far up into Canada?
