I read a good piece the other day about this very issue…….

Ben was a sharp cookie…..
Never liked the term “homeland”. Reminds me too much of “Vaterland”, with all the historic baggage (and precedents) that implies.
I agree….seems that if you use that term there should be certain salute that goes with it….
