I met Charlie Mills in Troy, New York, when he was the Public Safety Commisioner. He helped my neighborhood set up a watch program to fight crime. His dedication to his job was obvious. I never forgot how caring and reliable he was. Mr. Mills was a warm and very likable person who left an everlasting positive impression on our community. I know that he sacrificed his life for others. Charley Mills is an American Hero and someone whose courage and selflessness I will remember for the rest of my life.
