National Miner's Day
The contributions of miners around the country are commemorated on National Miner's Day. In addition, the day honors the mining country's hardworking employees.
The country must keep in mind that mining is one of America's most dangerous occupations as we celebrate their achievements and recall the tragedies that these hard-working individuals endure. Every day, miners put their lives in jeopardy. They deal with health and safety issues as well as an uncertain future.
Every day we use products made from raw materials excavated from mines. These products are a result of the miners' labour. These men and women play a much more important part in our lives than most people realize.
