08 Nov 06 Corwin Miller
Today I will officiate the memorial service for Corwin Miller who died at the age of 93. Corwin was a decorated member of the U.S. Armed forces.
He earned a purple heart for being wounded in action.
He was awarded the Silver Star for "Gallantry in Action Against an Opposing Armed Force."
He was awarded an Air Medal with one Leaf Cluster for "Meritorious Achievement while Participating in Aerial Flight."
He was awarded the European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal for "service in the US Armed Forces within the European-African-Middle Eastern Theater.”
He was married 50 years to his wife Lois and cared for her tirelessly when she became crippled with arthritis.
Corwin has no family, that I am aware of, who will be in attendance today.
I never knew Corwin. I never had the pleasure. I never had the honor.
But I have known, and do know, men just like him.
Men of honor.
Men of courage, conviction, and character.
Men of distinction, duty, and devotion.

God’s blessings to you in this memorial service. The good thing about men like Corwin is that their lives preached their funeral service … and it’s always a good service! It’s the services where there was no honor … no conviction … bad character that are difficult for me to do.
God bless Corwin, his family, and the men and women of his generation.
And God bless you………
