approximately 319 million people currently living in the United States of America. (U.S. population) All of which are experiencing life in their own unique way. Wither that pertains to their career, a religious calling or even just getting acquainted with a new environment. Yet, set out on seemingly different journeys, everyone has some connection with each other. Perhaps the strongest and maybe most obvious connection is the country these people call home.
