Bien que Andrew Miller ait eu l\u2019insouciance d\u2019un jeune homme, son int\u00e9grit\u00e9, sa conscience des autres et sa grande compassion nous portaient \u00e0 croire qu\u2019il aurait pu \u00eatre une vieille \u00e2me. Son sourire engageant et la chaleur de ses yeux bleus inspiraient la confiance.<\/p>\n

Andrew Miller adorait jouer au m\u00e9decin lorsqu\u2019il \u00e9tait enfant. Il avait toujours du plaisir \u00e0 jouer des tours et \u00e0 faire des blagues. \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de sept ans, un filet de camouflage d\u00e9corait sa chambre et plus tard, des affiches des Forces arm\u00e9es canadiennes ont compl\u00e9t\u00e9 son d\u00e9cor. Plus Andrew vieillissait, plus sa volont\u00e9 d\u2019aider les autres augmentait. Il a m\u00eame cr\u00e9\u00e9 sa premi\u00e8re trousse personnelle de premiers soins. \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de treize ans, il a entrepris la mise \u00e0 jour de toutes les trousses de premiers soins de l\u2019h\u00f4tel o\u00f9 travaillait sa m\u00e8re. Il \u00e9tait donc naturel qu\u2019il devienne un jour technicien m\u00e9dical.<\/p>\n

Un des champs d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat d\u2019Andrew \u00e9tait de d\u00e9nicher les soldes ou de demander \u00e0 des fournisseurs sur Internet, pour des couteaux, des lampes de poche et d\u2019autres objets utilitaires afin de les offrir \u00e0 ses amis de l\u2019arm\u00e9e qui partaient pour l\u2019Afghanistan. Apr\u00e8s sa mort, quelques fournisseurs ont continu\u00e9 \u00e0 fabriquer des couteaux en son honneur. Un manufacturier canadien en particulier, a con\u00e7u un mod\u00e8le de couteau exclusif au nom d\u2019Andrew qui vaut entre 5 000 et 7 000 dollars.<\/p>\n

Andrew adorait sa m\u00e8re et en \u00e9tait le protecteur. Quand sa m\u00e8re se blessait, il aimait la soigner et la r\u00e9conforter. Andrew disait souvent : \u00ab nous cr\u00e9ons nos souvenirs \u00bb. Cette phrase vient d\u2019une anecdote qui s\u2019est produite lors de la pr\u00e9paration du festin de No\u00ebl avec sa m\u00e8re et sa tante. Sa tante l\u2019a surpris en train de manger de la p\u00e2te \u00e0 biscuit, elle l\u2019a r\u00e9primand\u00e9 et lui a donn\u00e9 une petite tape amicale derri\u00e8re la t\u00eate. On lui a alors dit que la confection des friandises de No\u00ebl faisait partie de la cr\u00e9ation de souvenirs. C\u2019est soit la phrase elle-m\u00eame, soit la petite tape amicale qui porta Andrew \u00e0 r\u00e9p\u00e9ter cette phrase plusieurs fois au cours des ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n

\u00c0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de quatorze ans, Andrew a rejoint les rangs des Cadets o\u00f9 il a poursuivi sa passion pour la musique en devenant batteur. Avec son p\u00e8re militaire, il allait au champ de tir tout en profitant de la nature et en partageant leurs int\u00e9r\u00eats communs. Son p\u00e8re lui a appris \u00e0 coudre et ils ont r\u00e9par\u00e9 plusieurs \u00e9quipements \u00e0 sangles ensemble. Ray a essay\u00e9 de convaincre son fils de poursuivre ses \u00e9tudes coll\u00e9giales avant d\u2019aller dans l\u2019arm\u00e9e, mais Andrew, \u00e9tant du type ind\u00e9pendant et d\u00e9termin\u00e9, s\u2019est enr\u00f4l\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de seize ans. Ses parents ont d\u00fb signer pour lui et \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de dix-sept ans, il est parti pour suivre l\u2019entra\u00eenement de base. \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de dix-huit ans, il suit un cours en soins de sant\u00e9 en Colombie-Britannique pour lequel il se classera parmi les meilleurs. Il devient technicien m\u00e9dical avec l\u2019intention de devenir assistant m\u00e9dical de combat. Il forme d\u2019autres soldats sur les soins de secourisme en situation de combat (Soins des pertes au combat) avant leur d\u00e9part pour l\u2019Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Andrew a gagn\u00e9 l\u2019affection de plusieurs avec son sens de l\u2019humour. Il poss\u00e9dait cette qualit\u00e9 inn\u00e9e de dire ce qu\u2019il fallait en situation de stress. Il savait d\u00e9dramatiser et apaiser les autres dans les moments difficiles. L\u2019\u00e2me charitable de ce jeune homme qui savait toucher les gens, son sourire et sa chaleur humaine l\u2019ont rendu inoubliable.<\/p>\n

Andrew a quitt\u00e9 ce monde \u00e0 un jeune \u00e2ge. Le 26 juin 2010, ce jeune homme a donn\u00e9 le cadeau ultime : sa vie pour un pays qu\u2019il adorait, tout en servant les gens qu\u2019il aimait.<\/p>\n

Andrew voulait que l\u2019on se souvienne de lui, et sa m\u00e8re, Wendy, lui rend hommage de plusieurs fa\u00e7ons. Elle a dit que son fils adorait l\u2019arm\u00e9e, c\u2019\u00e9tait sa passion et sa destin\u00e9e. Elle a toujours pressenti qu\u2019elle ne serait pas sa m\u00e8re longtemps.<\/p>\n
