Maybe there's a way to Freep up a book deal for Patrick Miller and get a few bucks
for him and his family.

That's a nice thought.
BUT...from the time I saw him on camera in the NBC special, a subsequent news report,
and the impressions of a fair number of folks here...
I suspect that he would say "thanks very much, but I'm just an average guy who wants
to keep Army vehicles in good running shape and/or train new mechanics."

Seriously, I would not be suprised in the least if he's been approached and
gave an "aw, shucks" thanks, and a "I'm flattered, but I'd rather not."

About all I could see him doing is a project to keep the image of the Army up,
or maybe if all proceeds went to the children/family left by the soldiers killed
in the action.

Call me naive, but I get the feeling that Miller is the real-life man that
Frank Capra was trying to get on film with Jimmy Stewart.
