The effort to create a commemorative National Miner's Day, on December 6, was successful. A resolution was passed in the United States Senate on December 3, 2009. The press release is on Senator Byrd's web site @ http://byrd.senate.gov/mediacenter/view_article.cfm?ID=566 Thanks to the thousands of people who believe it is important to recognize the contributions of miners to the well being of all. And thank you Senator Byrd and members of the United States Senate. ~ Roy Lee Cooke, President MDMAWV ~ Creed Holden, Author of the National Miner's Day Petition Click here to enter the current Miner's Day web site.
