Today's History Lesson...

This morning I caught a little of "The O'Reilly Factor" with Bill O'Reilly on Fox News. I found a part of his "Reality Check" segment very interesting. The segment was dealing with questions from the U.S. Citizenship Test. It made me wonder...how much do we know, or remember about this great country of ours? We can all use a refresher course in History now and then. Here are the questions Bill O'Reilly asked on his show. My comment on at least one of the questions is optional...
