In West Virginia, we’re blessed with one of the highest populations of veterans per capita—nearly 8% of West Virginians have served or are serving in the military, compared to a national average of about 6%. Today we send our love and thanks to America’s veterans and their families. Not everyone joins the military for the same reasons, but all who do deserve our gratitude.

In 2019, Anthony Harkins and Meredith McCarroll published Appalachian Reckoning: A Region Responds to Hillbilly Elegy, in which dozens of authors and creative artists presented a retort to the long shadow Hillbilly Elegy has cast over the region and its imagining. Proudly published by West Virginia University Press. If you're in the Morgantown area, you can snag a copy today at WVU's Mountaineer Week Craft Fair.
