The Friends of Coal will run a special Memorial Day radio ad on the West Virginia Radio Network and MetroNews.

 

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.”
