Marshall County REMC would like to recognize their linemen in honor of National Lineman Appreciation Day. On April 13, Marshall County REMC will honor these hard working men who often work in challenging conditions to keep the lights on.
Marshall County REMC would like to thank their linemen for their hard work and dedication to the cooperative. Thank you Tom Benedict, Steve Westfall, Doug MacLain, Annis Crum, Tod Brems, Kenny Eggleston, John Yates, Josh VanVactor, Chris Ennis and Jason Hughes.
The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) Board adopted the following resolution unanimously:
“Whereas linemen leave their families and put their lives on the line every day to keep the power on; Whereas linemen work 365 days a year under dangerous conditions to build, maintain and repair the electric infrastructure; Whereas linemen are the first responders of the electric cooperative family, getting power back on and making things safe for all after storms and accidents; and Whereas there would be no electric cooperatives without the brave men and women who comprise our corps of linemen;
Therefore be it resolved that NRECA recognize the Second Monday of April of each year as National Lineman Appreciation Day and make available to electric cooperatives, materials and support to recognize the contributions of these valuable men and women to America’s Electric Cooperatives.”
