The association serves Coast Guard and military ac- tive-duty and reserve mem- bers, veterans and families. “We would like to thank Warrenton Kia for thinking of the Chief Petty Officers As- sociation and for their gen- erosity in providing us with these much-needed funds.

The automotive dealer de- cided to donate a portion of every new Kia sold shortly before Memorial Day, said Roxanne Williams-Morin- ville, general manager. “The staff at Warrenton Kia, like many of us here on the coast, have heard the sound, day in and day out, of Coast Guard helicopters on their way to another rescue.” Hospital’s ‘credit score’ goes up Fitch Ratings, one of the “big three” credit rating agencies for businesses in the United States, recently upgraded its rating for Columbia Memori- al Hospital.
