CHAPEL HILL MEMORY GARDENS

Dale Miller was my grandfather. His funeral was ten years ago today, but the ideals and lessons he taught me are still strong and present. 
I followed in his footsteps, joining the Army at 18. I currently sit in Kuwait, writing this memorial ten years after he left. I am older now than he was when he fought in the Pacific Theater of WWII. Knowing that amazes me, understanding better than most how courageous he was for it.

Now I am expecting my first child in less than a month, and wishing I could introduce him to my daughter.
I don't know if anyone will ever see this, but that doesn't matter.

I love you, Papa. Rest in Peace.
