We were commisioned as Warrant Officers with 4 other Force Recon brothers at Quantico by Larry Livingstone after we completed Warrant Officer Candidate School.  FYI Ed set the OCS record for the O course-not bad for us old guys.  A dear friend long before OCS and after, the memories of the O Club will live forever.  A true Marine and leader who I shall never forget.  Sorry for the late entry Ed but as you know I was always a little slow.  Semper Fi!!

I went thru D. I. School with ED in class 4-72.He was The finest Marine that I ever met and I remember him after all of these years. 
Semper Fi brother! The streets of heaven are safer with Ed guarding them.

I am saddened by the news of Ed's passing. Ed is long-time friend, a patriot, decorated warrior and one-of-a kind remarkable Marine.  I was greatly influenced by him in many ways. He will not be forgotten.  Semper Fidelis Ed, May you rest in peace.

I served under Lt Col Miller when he Commanded Supt Bn RTR San Diego in 1994-95. I never met an Officer so dedicated to setting an example like he did. I learned a lot from him and respected him more than any other Officer I met.

In June 2010, as a member of a 4-man USA skydiving team of Vietnam Veterans, Ed competed in the senior games for skydivers at the 10th POPS World Meet in Reggio Emila, Italy.  Team USA won a Gold Medal for the USA against 21 foreign teams. (photo: Pat Moorehead)

A true friend, we've competed against each other on opposing teams and with each other as teammates. Been diving in Truk Lagoon together and had contless laughs together. My life is better for having known him.

Ed had a very full life. I remember him as a corporal E4 in the paraloft back in the early '60s. His accomplishments as a parachutist were astounding, and he kept it up into his later years. So he was not lacking for excitement and accomplishment. But to have to leave the world at a relatively young age...damn, doesn't seem right. I am glad I got to talk to him at the last FRA in San Diego. Rest in peace Ed...just keep flying through the clouds! Ovid Holmes, FRA74

  Semper Fi Sir
 May you rest in Heven and be greeted by all who have gone before you.

Known Ed since 1961, outstanding, wild, and crazy as we all were, in those
days. The best sit-down and talk I remember with Ed was when I was on the
drill field as a D.I.; did not see much or heard much from Ed after that time; we were all busy in Vietnam. However, recently someone from 3rd Force had
a picture of Ed and put it on the internet, asking if anyone knew who this guy
was, I identified him for them and sent back an e-mail, "that's Ed Miller, ex-
enlisted from 1st Force Recon Company 1stMarDiv FMFPac" I'll miss him too
he was a good Lance Corporal, and one of the Corps Finest, to rise to LtCol.

Ed, you've left a hole in my heart and the world will never be the same without you.

To my long time brother, words alone can't say how dearly you will be missed. You are a true American hero. See you on the other side.

A true warrior, gentleman and a class act, you will be sorely missed Ed.

A very long time friend, a fellow Marine and skydiver.  My Support Battalion commander at MCRD, SD when I retired as his SgtMaj in 1994.

Another guard for Heaven's gates.  Prayers for his family as they say good-bye.  Semper Fidelis.

From one Force Recon Marine to another..Semper Fi. You will be missed

Ed Miller was one of the finest Marines I have ever met and it was an honor to have had the privilege of working for him.  Ed was my first OIC back in 1978 when he was a LDO 1stLt and I was a brand new butterbar and it was those  many fine lessons I learned from Ed Miller that set me up for a 30 year career in the Corps.  May God bless you and welcome you home, Devil Dog!  Semper Fi.
