Thank Missouri for Ending WWI, WWII, and the Cold War. You (the entire world) are Welcome.
WWI:
Missouri born and bred General "Black Jack" Pershing led the American Expeditionary Forces to victory over the Austria/Hungarian/German forces. In 1919, in honor of his success in WWI, Missouri boy Pershing was promoted to the highest rank ever attained by a living officer, General of the Armies of the United States. The only other person to attain this rank was George Washington, and that was posthumously.
WWII:
Missouri boy President Truman brought a swift and total defeat to the Japanese by controversially ordering two separate atomic bombs to be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Shortly after the horrific detonations, the Japanese surrendered aboard the battleship USS Missouri, ending WWII.
Beginning of Cold War:
The great Winston Churchill gave his famous "Iron Curtain" speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri in 1946. Many historians credit this speech to be the start of the Cold War. Here is an exerpt from the speech:
"From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an "Iron Curtain" has descended across the continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow."
End of Cold War:
46 years after Winston Churhill's famous "Iron Curtain" speech delivered at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, Mikhail Gorbachev gave a speech there in 1992, declaring the end of the Cold War. Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri was both the site of the start and end of the Cold War.
War Against Gays in NFL:
Michael Sam, Missouri star defensive player and arguably the best defensive lineman in the SEC, swiftly ended the War Against Gays in the NFL by controversially coming out of the closet not long before the NFL Draft. Future generations of athletes, both straight and gay, will praise both Michael Sam and the Missouri football team for effectively ending the debate over gays in the locker room.
Sincerely,
Missouri

The real question is: When is the last time you thanked a Missourian?

You're in the land of history, otherwise known as Missouri. Thank a Missourian every chance you can. Without our sperm having produced some of the most influential humans to grace this scary world, we'd be speaking German or Russian right now.
However, don't get me started on the Mormons...

They do believe that Missouri is the promised land, so they have that right. They just need to appreciate it from Utah.

Sometimes drug use or abuse can intensify or bring on episodes of delusion of grandeur. People who take phencyclidine (PCP) or amphetamines are especially at risk.
