I too had the good fortune to be mentored by our dear "Commander," Someone sent your blog to me months ago and ironically i just read it last night, days after Vera passed. What you wrote was beautiful. I sent it (below) to all last night.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />From blog, Louie Miller:<br /><br />http://suddenlyitdawnedonme.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-commander.html?spref=fb&m=1<br /><br />My reflections when I was told his wife Veronica passed Sunday:<br /><br />What a solemn pleasure and honor to be that in her life, having felt so helpless when I got up to her in Louie's wake, 30 years old with less than 6 years on the job. I was blown away when she said, "He spoke of you. He said you'd do very well." Little did her or I know that one of the most cherished "gifts" my fortune would bring me would be being in a place to be part of the support and love our NYPD, this special "culture of caring," would bring to the families of our heroes. With no contact at all with Vera after the funeral, I spoke of him more and more as I was promoted to higher ranks. In '95 as the new CO of the 71 Precinct I decided to reach out to her. Every rookie orientation since then I would speak of Louie and then call her that night. I'd say, "Veronica, I and __ (number) brand new rookies spoke about the commander and all of his lessons and the gifts he brought to so many to our NYPD." Sometimes she'd say, "Do people still remember him?" I'd say, "Of course, so many do." She'd end our chat with, "You've made my day." The next day I'd tell the same rookies what she said and I'd add, "So you all came on this job to help people, to make a difference, right?" They'd nod. I'd then say, "Well know that each of you did so already; you brought comfort to the widow of one of our heros who was taken from us likely before any of you thought about being a cop.<br /><br />Bless them both.<br /><br />Summary of how Louie's sacrifice:<br /><br />Anniversary of line of duty death of Detective Louis L. Miller, 70 Precinct training officer<br /><br />End of Watch: Wednesday, March 11, 1987<br /><br />Cause of Death: Gunfire<br /><br />Date of Incident: Wednesday, March 11, 1987<br /><br />Detective Miller was shot and killed while investigating an armed robbery call.<br /><br />Detective Miller was a field training officer and was riding with three of his trainees. They met other officers at the scene and he directed two men to the roof of the building and two men to the 5th floor, where the crime was taking place. He and one of his trainees rode the elevator to the 4th floor with the intention of walking the last flight of stairs. When the elevator doors opened they were met with two suspects who immediately opened fire, striking both officers. Both officers returned fire, fatally wounding one suspect and wounding the other, who was later apprehended.<br /><br />Detective Miller had been with the New York City Police Department for 34 years and had trained over 2,000 officers in his 15 years as a field training officer. He was survived by his wife Veronica and his son Daniel and daughter in law Maureen.<br /><br />As we proudly carry out the mission we each signed on for, let us remember Louie’s brave and honorable sacrifice and remain thankful for the immeasurable impact he has had on the many officers he mentored.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03409255306451390327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2822433960314519804.post-67844536038101105952014-09-10T22:25:10.086-05:002014-09-10T22:25:10.086-05:00Thanks for the compliment.
