I think he mentioned the US Virgin Islands twice. This is consistent with AP style and should make it clear to most non-fanatics. Similarly, one doesn't write "The United States of Mexico" when speaking of the country versus the city.

Why do you keep saying Virgin Islands? You are talking the "Virgin Islands of the United States" not the Virgin islands, please make that correction.
