THANK YOU U.S.C.G. KODIAK


Over the years KMXT has been fortunate to have had volunteers from the Coast Guard Community serve on our Community Advisory Board, Board of Directors and as On-Air Volunteers.
We have recieved e-mails from past Coast Guard residents who are still listening to us, now via the web. These e-mails are a reminder of what a great public radio station we have here in Kodiak. It is also a reminder of how much the station and Kodiak means to those who have served here.
Coast Guard Appreciation Week is in August and we here at KMXT would like to thank everyone one in the Coast Guard for all you do for Kodiak both on the shore and on our waters.
