Thanks for posting those tributes, Steve. The dangerous work these men do to provide a product that we all pretty much take for granted needs to be applauded. When they lose their lives, they need to be remembered as something more than a number. The stories are heart wrenching.
This past Tuesday, as we were driving home from Lexington, KY on Route 64 coming through the mountains of West Virginia. I looked at the map to see where Montcoal was. When I felt we were in parallel to it, I looked to my right and said a prayer for all who died in that terrible explosion.
