NO GREATER LOVE
“Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”
There are 10,000 names written on a wall in Charleston….
10,000 fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends …10,000 West Virginians who have given the ultimate sacrifice to keep our nation free.
There are 10,000 names written on a wall in Charleston ….10,000 heroes. …
This weekend, take a few moments and visit the Veterans Memorial on the Capitol Grounds in Charleston, or pay a visit to those heroes who rest in quiet spots, in gardens of stone or in our memory. Honor their legacy as we strive to carry it on.
Take a moment and let your children know how important those 10,000 names are to their freedom and their future…
A message from The Friends of Coal.”
