In this most joyous of seasons, the Friends of Coal would like to take a moment to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
We are so thankful to be part of the family of coal. And we would like to recognize our coal miners and their families for the hard work that they do to make the lights of Christmas burn so brightly. We would like to take a moment and just say thank you to all those who provide service and support to our miners throughout the year.
2012 hasn’t been easy. Far too many of our people are laid off, but we believe the future of our industry remains bright, but we need lots of help.
Let us remember that Christmas isn’t about material things … Christmas is about love and in that we West Virginians are wealthy in abundance. And we would like to give thanks to our Creator for the many blessings He has bestowed on us, our State and our Nation.
