Senator Robert Byrd Calls Mountains Majestic, Inspiring, and a Gift For West Virginians
Thursday, March 18th, 2010
In his weekly commentary, West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd recently cited many reasons to protect the mountains in his state. He listed numerous Biblical references to mountains and the sacred events that happened there, and called them beautiful and serene.
“Majestic, inspiring, and, at times, intimidating,” he wrote, “our mountains remind us of the glory of the view after the challenge of the climb. Perhaps that is why West Virginians retain a stalwart and independent character, always inspired by possibilities and undaunted by difficulties.”
