West Virginia: Montani semper liberi
Mountaineers are always free
From the country that has an iconic song and full of mountains, the motto is well-fitting. It was established during 1872 by Joseph H. Diss Debar. The motto is used in the country that has the nickname "Mountain State". This is literally the only reason this motto was chosen. No symbolism is presented, although mountaineering is a journey unto itself.
