| You are so truly appreciated, Cpl McMillan, III. I know you stand a hero now at heaven's gates, along with all our fallen warriors who have gone before you. Rest easy now, William, and know that you will never be forgotten here. |

Thank you for your service and sacrifice in defending and protecting our freedoms. As a nation we mourn your loss, and we will remember you always as a true American hero. To the family, I offer my prayers and support. I understand a little of what you are going through-my son, a Marine LCpl, was killed in Iraq. I pray wonderful memories of your dear warrior help eventually to ease the pain you endure today. Your hero will never be forgotten-he leaves a legacy of honor and courage that few will ever achieve. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |

As I get ready to write to you, the words fall away as almost meaningless because of the pain I know you feel. I know, because I have felt that pain.
Know that you are NOT alone on this difficult path. Others are there to help you: reach out and embrace them, for they are offering not only themselves, but sharing with you that little bit of the Almighty that resides in all of us. This offering/sharing is what WILL give you the strength you will need to get thru. Trust me.
Any service related death, on or off duty, whether accident or illness, wounds received or KIA, warrant the Gold Star for the family. Don't let anyone tell you different.
I offer you my services, such as they are. If you want to talk, feel free to get in touch with me thru the PGR messaging. I WILL return your call/message. ANYTIME!
In the meantime know that my wife's and my prayers are with you.

I will be at the funeral home visitation, funeral and Camp Nelson and will have a cooler of water, sweet tea, lemonade, lunch meats, bread and mayo in the back of the truck for those needing it. I am also bringing a small can of gas for those who travel far or have a small tank and need a recap of fuel. Look for the silverish Chevy truck with PGR Support Vehicle signs and please feel free to help yourself.
