English: The "Monument for Life" at the site of the 2002 Quecreek Mine Rescue, during which all nine trapped miners were rescued successfully. This plaque, affixed to a rock, sits in front of a Red Oak tree surrounded by nine pine trees. The plaque reads:

The symbol of the red oak tree, here, is of course, faith. The 9 evergreens are to represent miners, but in a larger sense, all of us. We all must sometimes bind ourselves together as "the nine" did when the leaves of faith have fallen like that of the oak in autumn. When we long for the shelter of the oak to protect us from the cold and dark, we must realize that in the coldest winter of our lives, or the darkest mine, when there seems to be no life in the oak - His roots run deep. His limbs outstretched-calling us to Him. And in His shadow, we will all be reborn in spring.
