2. Helen Coal Miners Memorial

Dedicated to the coal miners who labored long and hard under very dangerous conditions. They brought forth the coal that fueled the industries that built this great nation. Let's write it down and tell it all, for here it has much worth, the story of the coal miner who toiled beneath the earth. God bless the coal miner of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
