Today Is My Brother's 55th Birthday. Right Here In Danville Illinois A Son Was Born To Harvey And Shirley Miller. This Historic Event Came On July 5th In The Year Of 1953. Their First Child Was Born The Day After The Fourth Of July.
The United States Celebrates Tuck's Birthday The Day Before So We All Remember Why We Celebrate The 5th Of July.
Tuck And I Growing Up At 713 Had Some Memorable Happenings. I Could Never Compete With Tuck Academically So I Chose Physical Challenges. Footraces From The House To The Corner Which Calculated To Be One Half Block.
Baseball Was The Sport I Excelled In And Tuck Was No Match. However I Always Looked Up To Tuck In Every Way. I Looked At Tuck As Paving The Way For Me And Being There Before I Came Along. Since He Expierenced It Before I Did, He Could Always Give Me A Firsthand Opinion Before It Came To Me.
When Tuck Graduated High School He Left Home And Joined The Navy. I Would Say At That Moment In Time I Had The Most Admiration For Him.
I Did Not Apply Myself In School So When The Time Arrived For Me To Join The Navy, I Did.
Tuck Showed Me The Way As Well As My Brother Mark.
Throughout The Years, My Observations Of Tuck Has Been An Honest, Down To Earth, Friend To Many, God Fearing Man. His Love For His Hometown Of Danville Is An Understatment.
We Are Thankful For Having Tuck In Our Lives. We Could Have Easily Lost Him On 6-6-06. I Feel God Spared Him So He Can Complete His Mission Here On Earth.
I Am Proud To Call Him My Brother, But He Is Also My Friend.
Happy Birthday Tuck!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TUCK
