As part of the Truman Doctrine, Harry S. Truman asked for $400 million in military and economic assistance for Greece and Turkey. This occurred in 1947 when the U.S. feared greater Soviet and communist influence in these two countries which were facing grave political and economic crises.
I think it's Virgina because Virginia was the home of the first surviving English colony. (Jamestown). The colony was also attacked and almost ruined.
I hope this helped :)
