This picture is of a Hammond Map of the United States that was published in the June 1967 issue of Popular Science magazine. We have sure come a long way since then with things like Google Earth.

 

Eisenhower's vision of the Interstate Highway System from his Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 is clearly taking shape on this map. A constructive endeavor that would forever change things. It was inspired in the name of defense, some of the other effects have been solidly long lasting.

 

As we are here together on 9/11, we never forget. Let us now be soldiers of humanity and promote conditions of peace wherever our spheres of influence may be.
