Travis, I heard about your website when I was browsing the WMZQ Country channel website for upcoming concerts...As I read your story, tears came down my face and I wanted to say that you are a true hero and words cannot describe the ultimate sacrifice you made in Afghanistan...You have such a great attitude on life and despite the circumstances, you are keeping your chin up and a smile on your face...You are truly an amazing man and it's so touching to see that so many people including friends, family, communities who have been giving you moral support and are there for you every steps of your recovery...My older brother was a US MARINE for 15 years...By the way, me and my brother are originally from France and moved to the US 23 years ago to learn English and moved here with our grandparents and w...God bless you, your wife Kelsey and your daughter Chloe and keep up those spirits!!! I admire your courage and you really inspired me and many others!!! Take care, Sandrine

You are in my very best thoughts. I hope the military is doing all that they can to give you good help. My husband served for 28 years.

Hi Travis, Kelsey and Chloe, Hope all is well with you all. Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you all! I know Chloe is growing more each day. As always take care!!!

I'm a former Red Devil from the 2d508th (1974-78) and I just wanted to let you know, that you and your family are in my prayers daily. I wish you could have seen the number of people who came out to honor you on 7/28/2012 in Dallas. The roads were lined by people standing waving flags in the 100+degree Texas Sunshine. All the Way my Brother, ALL THE WAY.

Hi Travis, Just want you to know you are in my prayers for all your sacrifices, there are no words to express my Thanks to you for serving our country. Stay strong, you have so much to live for, your beautiful wife and little girl are there for you. I am the biggest patriot you can't imagine, my heart goes out to all that serve our country. Thanks agan, Yours sincerely Nina

Travis, I hope you've had a good week. I'm sure you have been working hard and pushing yourself forward. I think of you, Kelsey, and Chloe often and keep you all in my daily prayers. Keep up the good work and you will accomplish your goals. This past week on the local news it was announced that two young men from our surrounding area made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan for our country so there are many grieving hearts. Again, I say thank you for all you have done for us and for the many sacrifices you and your family have made so we can live the lives we enjoy. God bless you and those you love.

Supporting all those who raise womens issues in the community,your friends at http://www.tomthumb.info/tt/ Thank you.

hey Travis I Just Wanted to say u are a hero to me and my family Thank You Hope U get better

I emailed photos from the bike run (7/28) to the "info" address. I hope you got them and they made you smile. You have a lot of people in your corner who really care. Keep making those huge strides in your recovery process! YOU ARE SUCH A HERO IN SO MANY WAYS!

I am amazed, after all that you have been through that you have the attitude you do, you may end up at 6'4" again but your way taller in my book. You are an inspiration to the rest of us sir.

Travis - I was deployed at the same time as you. I was the OIC for an R&R flight shortly following your accident. I had watched the news online and heard about your horrific accident, yet amazing morale. The R&R flight consisted of Soldiers stationed at the same FOB you were in when the accident occured. They told me the story of your accident and the way the entire installation rushed to help you the only way they could..by donating their own blood. As this senior NCO told your story... and the way the Soldiers came together to assist.....tears ran down his cheeks thinking of the sentiment. I wanted you to know how much people care about. You are truly an inspiration, and I am extremely proud of you!!

Hello Travis and Co. :) It has been too long since I last wrote, but we do check in daily, and continue to include you all in our prayers. Ya''ll are all such an inspiration, and we are amazed at your progress and your spirit! Thank you all, and take care!

Travis, what an amazing spirit and attitude you have. Thank you for your service to help protect me and my family from those that wish us harm here in the USA. We'll keep you in our prayers in that you continue reaching your goals. God Bless you and your family. The Moore Family from Barnesville, GA

Found out about your story because of the ride yesterday and watched some media coverage. I will keep this short. First and foremost thank you of course for defending my freedom but for also being the example you are today. See I just lost the 5 toes are my right foot and became extremely depressed until I heard of your courage. So I'm missing some toes and you part of some limbs. But this is OUR new reality! and today because of you I am a bit more greatful! We both have so much to carry on for. Thank you. A grandma from DFW.

Travis you are amazing and awesome with the progress you are making. You must be way ahead of what they expect from you. Keep up the good work.

Hello Mills family, So glad to see how awesome you are doing. Its truely amazing how far you have come in such a short time Travis! There is a softball tournament in Vassar this weekend that your classmates are putting on for your family that my husband is playing in. He is SO honored to be a part of it. He is having special shirts made from a company called Them shirts.....they make awesome designs so i cant wait to see what they send him. Keep up the good work and we love see all the videos that are posted! Sprowl Family

Hi Travis, Kelsey and Chloe, Hope you all are doing fine. Travis I seen the media clip of you and the other wounded warriors on 4 Jul 12, you all look great!! I love the great spirit that you all have! God has wonderful plans for all of you! Take Care!!!

Haven't been on here in a while. I'm amazed in your progress and strength. You and your family are an inspiration to all!

Travis, I saw your interview with Jenna Lee and you look great! I just wish the interview had been longer. I also saw you and the other wounded warriors on America Live with Megyn Kelly on July 4th. The segment was so appropriate for that day. We were celebrating the independence that you and your brothers and sisters in arms have preserved for us and continue to do so today. I have watched the videos several times because I never get tired of hearing your inspiring stories of courage, bravery, and strength to get through what you all have endured. You and your fellow wounded warriors are an inspiration to us! We may think we have bad days sometimes but it is nothing compared to what you have all been through. I hope you, Kelsey, and Chloe enjoyed your stay in New York. Continue to stay strong for each other and my prayers continue for you.

WOW! I reviewed your updates and Travis, you are so amazing. Nothing seems to stand in your way!!! Our family sends their warmest regards. You and all wounded vets have our support. :)

Was checking on your family and took a few minutes to watch your media clips. SOOOOO Amazing and moving and inspiring. Thinking of you guys everyday. God Bless you

You are a hero and my family and I hope you get better soon.

I'm from your home town of Vassar. I have watched your recovery with shared tears and awe at your courage and strength. You remain in our prayers. Thank you for your service and sacrifice, never think it was for nothing or that it isnt appreciated. My cousin chris esckelson died in Irac right before his 23rd birthday. I understand committment and sacrifice. I am so grateful you were able to come home. Not the way you wanted and it wont be easy, but your wife and daughter and family and friends will be here for you, even strangers like me, who just are grateful and understand freedom ISNT free. THANK YOU!!!

I am in awe of your strength and bravery. I have been thinking of you for months and finally sat down to research your progress. My donation is in the mail and I intend to get others to donate as well. Bless you, Travis, and the entire Mills Family. God Bless all our soldiers.

The sacrifice that you and others have made is what keeps our country free and safe. As we all know, freedom is not free. Thank you for your service. Stay strong,

Greetings from the "sticks"! Thank you is not enough. You are my hero doesn't cover it. I honestly don't think words can convey what we have in our hearts and minds for you (it's all good,I promise)! God bless you. And God bless your brothers and sisters in arms. For all returning,wounded and lost heros.If my arms weren't too short I'd hug you all at once!! Y
