America was built on the backs of coal miners!

My dear friend Sue, of more than 20 years has a lot of coal miners in her life.  Her wonderful husband, Bart, worked as a construction equipment operator, and he's to be admired also now. See Sue's note below:

Norma Sue Burchett Adkins Hey Dena, My dad worked in a coal mine, but only for a short time and Bart's dad was a coal miner also. I think this country was built on the backs of coal miners.

Introduction to Daughters of Coal Miners

As my friend, Sharon, and I sat together today and laughed about our days of growing up as grade school friends, we thought of our Dad's and how hard they worked to keep food on the table and shoes on our feet.  Our Dads, and many other Dads, went underground for hours and chip away at the rock and coal to fill the buggles to make a day's wages.  Millions of home kept warm with the coal mined in our town of Spanger, PA  We are very proud to be "Coal Miner's Daughters," and invite anyone who is a daughter of a coal miner to share your thoughts with us.
