Miner's Day: Appreciate, Honor and Remember
Sign Now
The worst mining disaster in American History occurred in the community of Monongah, West Virginia on December 6, 1907.
As of January 16, 2006, the most recent mine disaster in West Virginia occurred on January 2, 2006 in Tallmansville, West Virginia, and resulted in the deaths of 12 miners.
You'd think that with the history of accomplishment, sacrifice and tragedy that exists in the annuals of West Virginia mining, there would be a day set aside for acknowledgment.
But no, there isn't such a day exclusively dedicated to miners. At least not yet.
Let's change that by petitioning the West Virginia Legislature to proclaim a "Miner's Day" in commemoration of our miners. A day of reflection when we can show appreciation for the sacrifices, honor the accomplishments and remember the tragedies that these hard working individuals experienced.
December 6 would be an appropriate date, out of particular respect to the Monongah Disaster, whose one-hundredth anniversary will be in 2007.
If you support this concept, would you please consider signing this petition and encourage others to do so, too?
