VETERAN: Miller
earned major award
from WWP
Continued from page 1
work on behalf of his fellow
veterans in anonymity, his
service both during and after
the Vietnam War merited pub-
lic acclaim and recognition.
He never stopped supporting
his fellow veterans, and took
the time to visit wounded sol-
diers at Walter Reed Army
Medical Center, hoping these
young men and women would
draw strength from his expe-
riences in adjusting to and
living with a combat-related
disability.
Lang epitomized what it
meant to be a wounded ser-
vice member, broken in body
but not in spirit.
Miller, who was severely
wounded by a roadside bomb
in Iraq and spent over three
years in hospital recovering,
founded the highly success-
ful Sisters-based nonprofit
Warfighter Outfitters, whose
mission is to take disabled
veterans out hunting, fish-
ing, and on engagement trips
where they help make infra-
structure improvements in
places such as Yellowstone
National Park, or Organ Pipe
Cactus National Monument.
Warfighter Outfitters
served more than 2,000 dis-
abled veterans last year, and
has been instrumental in help-
ing veterans adjust and adapt
to both physical and psycho-
logical injuries sustained in
combat.
At the black-tie event,
which was attended by
numerous celebrities, profes-
sional athletes, and hundreds
of veterans and their fami-
lies, Miller was presented
the award by Brian Kilmeade
of Fox News, and retired
Lieutenant General Michael
Linnington, CEO of the
Wounded Warrior Project.

Brett Miller received the Wounded Warrior Project’s George C. Lang Award
for Courage in New York, with presenters Brian Kilmeade and WWP CEO
Lieutenant General Michael Linnington, Ret.
told the assembled that Miller
best represented the true heart
and spirit of the Wounded
Warrior Project’s iconic sym-
bol, “The warrior being car-
ried to the warrior carrying
others.”
Taking the stage to thun-
derous applause, Miller cap-
tivated the audience with a
powerful acceptance speech.
“I am among giants,”
Brett told the crowd. “The
Wounded Warrior Project’s
vision is to honor and
empower. I don’t think any-
one has been more honored or
empowered than myself.”
Referring to the fact that
he sold his Harley-Davidson
motorcycle to found
Warfighter Outfitters, Brett
said, “What I thought was a
personal sacrifice ended up
being a savior to me because
I learned more in the last sev-
eral years of guiding disabled
veterans than I could ever
learn. And the only reason I
was able to do that is because
the Wounded Warrior Project
honored and empowered me.”
Miller went on to thank
many of the people who have
assisted him along the way,
including his long-time girl-
friend Brook Wolfe, who was
in attendance. After the cer-
emony, the couple spent sev-
eral days touring many of the
nation’s historical sites and
monuments in Washington,
D.C., Mount Vernon, and
elsewhere.
