Always liked the state flag and seal of Illinois. That's one cool eagle. The Southern part of Illinois along the Ohio River is very beautiful. Prettiest part of the U.S. East of the Mississippi. In my opinion.

I have been to Illinois many times... My visits started with U.S. Navy Boot Camp... Then, over the years, many, many business trips.... and pulled out of retirement to do nine months consulting at a company outside of Chicago... Happy 200th Anniversary Illinois. Cheers, RickO

The sequicentennial Illinois medals in bronze and silver are pretty cool, too.
I have one in an Illinois-shaped Capitol holder.
