Miners Light the World

"Mining is a way of life in West Virginia"...Senator Jay Rockefeller, 4/25/10

It's all been said, and not enough has been done. Twenty-nine proud Americans died in a mountain in WV, doing the best work that was available to them, work that benefitted every American who ever flips a light switch. I will remember them every time I travel past Beckley, and I will try to remember the words of the Vince Gill song that was sung at their memorial today:

Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son.
