Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

The sacrifice made through your heroism is what holds that thin blue line together. Words are not enough to express the gratitude of your service and the sadness of your death that I felt as I watched this unfold. I am asking God to give your family and friends comfort and peace as they go on without you.

God Bless the family of Master Special Officer Craig Miller. You all are true hereos.

You made the ultimate sacrifice and you will never, never be forgotten. All American citizens will carry a piece of you with them...you will live on in many patriotic others. You never got to say good-bye, and that isn't fair...but you went on in there anyway. God bless you...you are a fantastic person and you will be so missed.

God I don't know what to say. I intend to post this message for each and everyone of you heroes so Officer, Detective, Agent, Whatever,... I thank you. You swore to serve and to protect. Well your days of protecting us are over. But you will forever be in service. Your eternal service... the inspiration you and your fellow bothers and sisters have re-enforced in my heart, will live so long as I do. Though I will not always carry your name in the front of my mind, not in my duties as a soldier or as the police officer I plan to become when I get home, I will still always carry with me the knowledge of your sacrifice... of your heroism, of your selflessness... I will carry a samll piece of you everywhere I go. Be it with an M-16 in my hands in a strange land, or a badge on my chest in my own back yard... long after the flags come down and the nation carries on... until the day I die... you will continue to serve... as my inspiration. God bless you. God bless your family. God bless your agency. God bless FDNY. God bless all the soldiers, sailors, airmen, coast guardsmen, and marines. God bless New York City. GOD BLESS AMERICA. Thank you my brothers and sisters. I love you.

At the last minute of your life, you probably felt that all was hopeless. Well, my brother, let me tell you that all is not hopeless and you will never be forgotten. You have probably left others behind, but they will carry on and they will have the strength to be better people for what you have done and what has been done to you. Please keep us in your prayers.
