John Miller is a lot of things. He is strong. He is silent. He's funny. He's a construction worker, a businessman, a guitar player. Above all, he is a husband and a father. But he is also a hero; not just when he's in uniform, but at all times. Whether he's running into a burning building or rescuing a senior citizen from a stalled elevator, when John Miller is around, you know that you're safe. You're in good hands.
