                               RESOLUTION


 
       Designating December 6, 2025, as ``National Miners Day''.

Whereas miners daily risk life and limb in their labors;
Whereas the miners of the United States have labored long and hard over the 
        existence of the United States to make it the economically strong, 
        militarily secure Nation that it is today;
Whereas miners and their families have achieved, provided, and sacrificed so 
        much for the betterment of their fellow citizens;
Whereas miners have struggled, in their lives and in their work, to obtain 
        health and safety protections;
Whereas the terrible mining tragedy at Monongah, West Virginia, that occurred on 
        December 6, 1907, is recognized for causing the greatest loss of lives 
        in the industrial history of the United States, and this tragedy helped 
        launch the national effort to secure the safety and health of our miners 
        that continues to this day; and
Whereas still today miners risk life and limb in their labors: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) designates December 6, 2025, as ``National Miners 
        Day'', in appreciation, honor, and remembrance of the 
        accomplishments and sacrifices of the miners of the United 
        States; and
            (2) encourages the people of the United States to 
        participate in local and national activities celebrating and 
        honoring the contributions of miners.
                                 <all>
