Ever since Sgt. Derrick Miller was convicted, support groups such as United American Patriots (UAP.org) have been trying to have his conviction overturned, believing that "a bone was thrown" to the muslim locals who protested loudly that a suspected infiltrator on an American base in Afghanistan was killed by Sgt. Miller when the Afghan spy lunged for Sgt. Miller's gun. They believe Sgt. Miller has been a victim of the Obama administration's life-threatening Ruies of Engagement that held U.S. soliders to blame in any situation with the slightest ambiguity or politcized sensitivity, and sometimes, no gray area at all.

To their everlasting shame, the Democrat members of the Maryland legislature and the Congressional Black Caucus did absolutely nothing to help this man whom many believe was wrongfully accused, wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for life, while most of the other notorious Leavenworth sentences for similar incidents involving taqiyya have received the support of their state officials and their cases have been resolved.

Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas, a former JAG officer, became aware of the case recently and spoke on Sgt. Miller's behalf at two recent clemency hearings, as did his mother and other supporters. This clemency and reduction of sentence is an answer to many prayers!

Family and friends of Sgt. Miller in Hagerstown, Maryland, are looking forward to his homecoming in May, and there are tentative plans for a reception of some kind. More on that as I learn of it.

What did the CBC have to do with the case? Did they turn their back on a bro?

Wonderful news! Thank you, God.

May God bless and keep this patriot.

I know that nothing can give him back the years that he lost through being unjustly imprisoned, but I hope some good fortune comes his way. Please, God.

[TianaHighrider]

Praise God!

From the other comments on here I see there is some question of facts. One thing I am sure of is our soldiers have been fighting against stacked decks and backstabbers. And the enemies were even worse.

Thanks be to God! Poor tortured guy. Prayers for his healing, health and happiness and for a fine future, in peace.

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you very much!

I have now read through 85 replies.
I remember the original requests for help to free him and how the story seems to have evolved is unbelievable.

Testimony from a person with freedom for his family in the US and failure to allow the testimony of his own men still seems outrageous to me.
I do not seem to clearly remember interrogation being part of the original explanation. Defensive action without first being fired upon, to save his group, was the explanation.

I wish I could go back and read the stories. I felt justified in appealing for a review of his case at the time. Those who judge him harshly from this story might do well to return to original coverage too.

One of Maryland’s own!

Maryland PING!

All it takes is a quick court hearing and/or Trump could give him a complete and full pardon.

[Salvavida]

I hope some patriots with the means hooks him up with a job, a vacation, a new car, and anything else he needs to start over.

Thank you! I missed this ping. How long has he been in prison?

“They believe Sgt. Miller has been a victim of the Obama administration’s life-threatening Ruies of Engagement that held U.S. soliders to blame in any situation with the slightest ambiguity or politcized sensitivity, and sometimes, no gray area at all.”

No question at all that’s what took place!

Forwarded by FReeper seekthetruth, here is a message from Bev Perlson, founder of the troop-support lobby Band of Mothers. It contains a link to a half-hour radio interview she just did, which again explains Derrick's situation and similar unjust imprisonments of U.S. troops wrongly accused, or who made mistakes—not deliberate crimes—in the heat of battle, but are charged with premeditation, sentenced harshly, have their families terrorized or are shut away in solitary, all while Gitmo terrorists are being freed:

I was honored to be a guest on David Bellavia’s radio show today. David is a Silver Star recipient and author of the riveting book, House To House. David and his Brothers served in Fallujah in 2004 and his book chronicles “one of the most savage urban battles in history.” It is a MUST read and I promise you will not be able to put it down!

I am grateful to David for his brave service and I am most grateful for his support of his Brothers incarcerated in Leavenworth for their defensive actions on the battlefield. We talk about Sgt Derrick Miller, soon to be released, as well as Michael Behenna, John Hatley, Kelly Stewart, Chief Gallagher, and the injustice they all have suffered:

Please folks, call your representatives and ask them to advocate for the release of John Hatley (Texas, incarcerated for 10 years now in Leavenworth), and Chief Eddie Gallagher (in the brig in California since September 11th of last year.) Eddie’s family lives in Florida.

I’m afraid if the phones don’t ring in support of his release, Chief Gallagher will be the next victim heading to Leavenworth. His trial is set for May 28th. He needs to be released to be with his family and prepare for his defense. He has been held in the brig without trial for 6 months now!

Thank you with all my heart for any calls, emails, forwards, letters, twitters, on these brave American’s behalf.

To David Bellavia, it is an honor to know you. Thank You for this interview today and your unwavering support of your Brothers. My family will always be grateful to YOU for all you did to keep our country safe. God Bless You Always.

With A Mother’s Heart,

Beverly Perlson

PLEASE NOTE: Pings about Derrick Miller will most likely be many less going forward, but there will be a few as he gets home in May. To add to or drop from this Derrick Miller pinglist, freepmail Albion Wilde

Isn’t there another officer/soldier who shot a known bomb maker sitting in prison or is this the same one?

[3D-JOY]

Is there any update on a reception for him or a date I may have missed.

I will be in that area about Memorial Day for visit to Arlington Cemetery. I wonder if I could do both?

Thanks for any new you may have.

[trisham]

Excellent.

[Albion Wilde]

Our President has pardoned another soldier who was wrongly convicted and served time in Leavenworth for killing a suspected al-Qaida. He had more help from his family connections and especially from his State legislators than Derrick Miller has had, but it's a positive thing:
