SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- Two men, one a doctor, one a soldier, immortalized as heroes. Both had their names unveiled on a monument dedicated to local soldiers killed in combat.

"We're very proud of him. And it's very sad he left children and a wife and a brother that all loved him very much and all his friends. He loved Shenendehowa High School, he loved the Boy Scouts. We just have keep believing in God and praying and someday we'll all be together again," said Vicky Pryor, mother of John Paul Pryor.

"It's a tough day, but Taylor shared his sacrifice with the country and like I say, if his loss will mean something positive for the community and the world at large, then that's all I could do," said Leslie Forbet Miller, mother of David Taylor Miller.

John Paul Pryor, formerly of Clifton Park, was serving as a combat medic when he was killed in Iraq in 2008. David Taylor Miller, a 2009 graduate of Saratoga Springs High School, was killed in Afghanistan this summer.

"I think Taylor's with us. I think Taylor watches out for his buddies in Afghanistan. I think he watches out for a country that he loved. And I'm looking forward to doing good things in his name, so this means a lot," Miller said.

"In a way, it's kind of appropriate that these two should be honored together because David is the kind of boy John wanted to save. He saw he had these skills and wanted to bring them where they were needed," said Richard Pryor, John Paul Pryor's father.
