A note of respect for the miners
Friday, August 17, 2007 by Alternate Setting | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
That's it basically, coming from a traditional mining area, I just wanted to note my respect for the miners.
As I'm looking at the news from the United States at the moment, 3 rescue workers have died and six more injured. They were part of an ongoing rescue effort to locate and rescue/recover six trapped miners.
There is no doubt that these guys and their families are aware that this is an extremely perilous operation - and that there lives are at risk.

I too come from a traditional coal mining (and ship building) area and I must say these people deserve maximum respect.Peace.

I have been praying for their families since hearing about it. I know firsthand the danger miners face on a daily basis. I worked in a mine for 4 1/2 yrs in my oh so much younger days. I've had friends trapped, injured and sadly loose their lives in that short time I was there. My heart and respect go out to them.

Mining is such a hard job. My family has been praying for these miners and their families since the cave-in.
