Taylor's family has decided to lay him to rest among the hero's of Arlington. Many businesses in our town have come forward volunteering services, such as charter buses, and motel accomodations for all of Taylors friends and family to be able to attend his funeral! Thanks again to all of you ARE great bunch of guys!

That is really good of them to offer that to the family. You gotta love that kind of community support and gratitude.

Yes Sir.

I believe every American in his/her lifetime needs to visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial (Murrah Building), the World Trade Center in NYC, and Washington D.C. To me, madatory military service, post-high school, is not a far-fetched idea. I will continue to serve as long as my health, and the United States Air Force lets me.

RIP brother.

Many condolences from Southern Indiana. God be with all of our troops. RIP Taylor


Keep your chin up Wayne, he's still protecting us.

An update about David Taylor Miller: PFC David Taylor Miller, who made the ultimate sacrifice was finally laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery on July 28th with full military honors. The flag draped casket was laid upon a horse drawn caisson, and was led to his final resting place led by a band, and a platoon of the sharpest looking soldiers I've ever seen. The service was very moving, but thankfully not too long as there were many elderly mourners in attendance, and the 95 degree heat was almost too much for many of them! After the service was over, and many had left, Taylor's closest friends kept returning to his casket just to say a few more words of farewell, they just kept going back, and back again! There were tear filled eyes amongst us all, it was very hard to just walk away. A very sad day for us all! Two of Taylor's comrades, who were severely wounded in the attack were in attendance, and spoke very well of Taylor, and tried as best they could to give comfort to his family. The long drive back home to Saratoga Springs was very long, as nobody seemed to have much to say. God bless and protect our soldiers!

A fitting send-off for a hero. He is resting with all the other hero's.

God bless the troops and his family.

so sad, R.I.P. God Bless Our Troops!
