Joshua Micah Mills

In Loving Memory of Joshua Micah Mills 11/1/84 - 9/16/09 Our beloved Joshua was serving his second deployment to Afghanistan when he was mortally wounded on Tuesday, September 15, 2009. He died within hours on Wednesday, September 16, 2009. God blessed Joshua with a full life in his 24 short years. He had achieved his goal of becoming a legendary US Army Green Beret after two years of grueling training where approximately four hundred men had initially qualified following rigorous mental and physical tests. He was one of only eight from that initial group that was awarded the Green Beret. Joshua was then assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group out of Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. Joshua left behind his beloved wife, Magen, their precious baby son, Malaki Trevin, his parents, Tommy and Celeste (Chaires) Mills of El Paso, his two older brothers, Kevin Quentin Mills and his wife Kristina, Travis Jordan Mills (currently serving in the US Air Force) and his wife Jayme, his grandmothers, Mary Lou Harrell Mills and Teresa Russell Christie, both of Tallahassee, Florida, and many aunts, uncles and cousins, most of whom reside in Florida. Joshua was buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington D.C. November 3, 2009, with full military honors.
