My heart grieves for Mrs. MILLER and Trooper MILLER's three children. Obviously,by Trooper MILLER's willingness to serve and protect the public, his sacrifice has left a great void with his family and friends. My family and I will hold all of you up in our prayers through this trying time. Words can not express my sadness.

I thank Trooper Miller and his fellow troopers from the very bottom of my heart, for their bravery in protecting innocent lives. I know the fear one feels as a protector, putting himself in danger to save others; I served two tours of combat overseas. Yet, despite the inherent risk, these men and women remain dedicated to fighting crime and saving lives daily.

If only everybody gave first responders the respect, admiration and gratitude that they deserve - only then would we avoid such tragedies.

As a future Alaska state trooper (God willing), every one of these tragedies give me a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. My heart goes out to the family, friends and comrades who knew and will always love this hero. This man's ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten. He is in the Lord's grace now, with all of his brothers and sisters whom have also made the ultimate sacrifice. God bless you, Trooper Joshua Miller. Thank you, Trooper Joshua Miller.

Joshua,

Thank you for your brave and noble service. Your actions save a child from further harm. I can see no more noble cause that laying your life down for the helpless.

May God comfort your family and friends in their time of sorrow and grief. May He hold them close when they need it most.

Until I get a chance to thank you in Heaven, God Speed Brother.

Rest in Peace my Brother.

I AM A WARRIOR
by Jon F. Hooper

I fight not for glory or fame,
For they are momentary.
I fight for those who can't.
I fight for Justice.
I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden.
And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets,
For I serve to protect the innocent.
It matters not where or when,
For evil knows no boundaries.
Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny,
I will not flee.
Justice is my weapon.
Faith is my shield.
Hope is my armor.
Cry not at my passing,
For it was my Honor to fight for you.
Shed not tears of sorrow,
But tears of joy,
For now,
I stand with God.

I am so sorry for your loss. I felt I had to leave a message, because of something that happened to me a few weeks ago. My car was hit by a deer, but I didn't know WHAT had happened, so I called the police. When the officers arrived I said "Boy, am I glad to see you!" The officer stopped - I asked what was wrong - He said, "We don't her THAT very often." I was stunned, and then realized that you all need to know that those of us who are law abiding citizens feel SAFE everytime we see one of your officers on the road - we are grateful that you are out there 24-7 to PROTECT US. I'm sure you don't get told that enough, but please know that we appreciate how you literally put your lives on the line every day. I want to thank you for all of us who don't think to let you know how much the job you do, puts our minds at ease. Please let Officer Miller's family know that we all grieve with them. Sincerely, Leslie J. Moseley

"My Brother"

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference.
He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent.
He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm.
He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary.
He was competent, trained, and professional.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became
frustrated when true justice became sidetracked.
He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he
never wavered.
He stood by and for his fellow officers.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He longed for his family during the long hours.
He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely
weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart.
He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling
and prayed they would understand.

He was a cop.

Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was a good son, a loving husband, and a devoted father.
He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the
people he served.
He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to
be the best he could be.
He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.

He was a cop.

Yes, I did know him.
He was a cop, he was my Brother.

Rest easy Brother Nicholson, we have the watch...



”I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
---Isaiah 6:8

You answered the call and made the ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy in God's kingdom and watch over us as we continue the battle here on earth!!!
