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.
