Joe Milliner was one of the kindest, loving souls I ever met. I enjoyed so much visiting Joe and Mary and the night theatrics of the "coons out back". I was and continue to be so very proud of Joe for completing his book on his life and the search he and Mary had been traversing to locate Billy. No doubt your mission has met with success. Love you, Joe .

Happy Father's Day Joe. You are in God's Air Force now and know the truth about your son William. Thanks for being our guest on POW/MIA radio and being an inspiration to all of us who like you, still search for the truth about our missing Americans. Like your book, you are now one of the Angels and Eagles!

Milliner family,
Accept my deepest heartfelt sympathy and prayers. Another hero of the “Great Generation” has gone home to be with the Lord, family and friends. Joe impacted our world with his military service and his relentless search for the lost MIAs and POWS. Thank you Joe for your service, defense of our freedoms, and your love for those who did not make it back to America.
Gratefully,
