The former Pennsylvania govenor said when recalling incident, "We looked to it with great pride and realize it was remarkable and some would say a miraculous dream."

The miners spent over 77 hours trapped almost 200 feet below ground and five years later they returned to the site where they were rescued.

One former miner, Robert Pugh said, "It seems like yesterday to me. ... I think about it every day. It's not something I like to think about, but I do."

The ceremony not only honored the nine miners, but also Schweiker for his hands-on involvement with the rescue efforts.
