I am the one who traverses the stars.
I am the one who works hard every day.
I am the one who abhors war.
I am the one who creates money from nothing.
I am the one who alone stands powerful.
I am the one who provides the backbone to every fighter.
I am the one who gives the strong their strength.
I am the one who provides scientists with their tools.

I am the miner.

Without us, there would be no ships.
Without us, there would be no wars.
Without us, no bases could operate.
Without us, there would be no power.
Without us, there would be no weapons.
Without us, there would be no inventions.

So the next time you see a miner, do not think, "What a pitiful profession. They do not have glory in fighting. They do not have courage."

We have courage. We do what so few do. Without us...
THERE IS NOTHING.
