The Flame Must Go On

Just a quick one to give kudos to Frontier Communications for stepping up to support the community and Arizona veterans by picking up the cost to keep the Eternal Flame burning at Arizona Veterans Memorial Park along the Colorado River in Bullhead City.

The flame has been at issue since January when the City of Bullhead City turned it off (ouch) to save costs. Public reaction to the move was swift as the story made national news. Good thing, too. According to Mohave Daily News that’s how Frontier’s CEO got wind of it:

“This article actually resonated a lot with me because it was about a community that worked hard to do something wonderful and was faced with an economic challenge as a result,” Wilderotter said. “The nice thing about being the CEO of Frontier is I could pickup the phone … and say, ‘How can we help?’ It was deeply important to me that we help.”

Good move Frontier!

The only thing left to say for now is Thank You.
