On this postcard to the right, the blue flag is the Oklahoma state flag. Right on top of the flag is a gold shield which has an olive branch and pipe, both of these symbolize peace. There seal is the great seal of Oklahoma, the star has five points and each point has one of the five civilized tribes. Many famous landmarks in Oklahoma such as the Oklahoma State Capitol are found throughout the state. Just recently the state capitol got a dome added onto it after years of financial trouble. Some of Oklahoma's state animals are the Buffalo(Bison) and there state bird is the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. The state has even adopted their own fruit which is the watermelon. Also, shown on this flag is the state's flower which is the beautiful Oklahoma rose. This state has plenty of unique symbols that make up Oklahoma, but these are just a few that are the main ones that caught my attention.
Dear great state of Oklahoma,
This is hard for me to say but unfortunately it's my time to go. I've finally gotten out of jail by doing my time and paying my way. I've traveled in search of my family that I've missed so dearly and I'm joining them to move westward to the great land of California. Oklahoma has been good to both me and my family in the past, but we need to have better lives. In California we're able to start new, get well paying jobs, and live on new land. Bye Oklahoma, hopefully one day I'll be able to come back and visit this dusty land once again.
Sincerely,
Your Friend Joad
