Morocco was the First Nation to recognize United States independence on December 20, 1777, only a year and a half after the U.S. Declaration of Independence was issued. Morocco formally recognized the United States by signing a treaty of peace and friendship in 1786, a document that remains the longest unbroken relationship in U.S. history.

We traveled to Morocco many years ago. It is an exquisite country of many diverse geographical regions. We drove from Fez over the High Atlas Mts. and down to Marrakesh and so are familiar with the areas effected by the earthquake. I will never forget the beauty of Morocco and my heart breaks for it's people.
