Today, we remember the lives lost. We honor the first responders and all who served in the days that followed. And we recognize the West Virginia broadcasters who helped guide their communities through one of America’s darkest moments.
We will never forget.
AM radio is vital to emergency communications -- especially in rural states like West Virginia. The House is expected to vote next week on the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act. Help protect access to AM radio: Text AM to 39179 and urge Congress to support it. #DependOnAM
