Mother Believes Picture Seen On CBS Evening News was Her Son
A picture seen in many newspapers and on Wednesday night's CBS Evening News caused many people to stop and reflect on what our soldiers are doing in Iraq.
But to one eastern Kentucky woman that picture was really worth a thousand words.
Millions of people saw the picture on the CBS Evening News Wednesday Night and in newspapers throughout the country.
But seeing this picture was more important to one eastern Kentucky woman than to anyone else in the world.
Maxie Webber says she was watching television when Dan Rather started to talk about this soldier.
She believes that soldier is her son Lance Corporal Blake Miller.
Webber said it was like a sign from God, "I sat there and I cried and then I prayed because it was like a sign from God to let me know that he's ok and it was a blessing but I couldn't believe it was him."
Webber says Miller was always very involved in the community. While she still doesn't know what sparked his interest in becoming a marine she only knows that's what he always wanted to be and she couldn't be more proud.
"You see so many pictures and so many soldiers it may be running talking no matter what they're doing and you never know but you hope to catch a glimpse it was amazing," Webber said.
Webber says she has talked to her son several times but will not be able to take a deep breath until he is back home.
Lance Corporal Miller left for Iraq in June 2004 and hopes to return home sometime in February.
I'd trade the entire staff of the LA Times for Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment.
Wonder if Mike Bloomberg would have him arrested for smoking in a NYC bar while he enjoyed a cold long neck?
If Hollywood is smart, they'll make the next movie about the modern Marines' unparalleled bravery and dedicated professionalism that Cprl Miller and his Corps has embodied for over two centuries now. Semper Fi!
Marlboro has had enough free press out of this to pay for the man's smokes for life. How about a letter writing campaign to insure our boys have enuff smokes????? How about it manufactureres??? It is well known that they sell more smokes outside the US than in so the stock piles must be in EU already......
Semper Fi

do it?
A carton costs close to $50 here in California. I have found an internet site that has Marlboros for $27 a carton. Can I find them cheaper somewhere else?
Anyone want to join me?
