Prayers & Condolences For:
John W. Miller
BY Anonymous on May 11, 2016 | |  | My sincere condolences to all those family, friends and service members who lost John from their lives. Although I did not personally know him, I found his story on Military Times Fallen Heros when searching for fallen soldiers from my hometown to honor this Memorial Day. I was moved by John's story, so I as I participate at a Carry The Load walk in Jacksonville, FL I will carry John's picture and his story with me. His memory lives on, touching strangers miles away! If you have any additional pictures or stories of John's life you'd like me to include in my back pack that day, please send to (Email Link).
