Drilling down on one of patelpatriots salient moments concerning Sec Def Miller and Vice President Pence.
18 December 2020 VP Pence and Defense Leaders Commemorate 1st Birthday Space Force (This was the birthday party)
(watch the whole thing.. but start with Chris Miller comment to VP Pence - timestamped below ) (hat tip to patelpatriot)
"Additionally, we are incredibly grateful to the Vice President for his leadership at the National Space Council. That was a game change... that is a game changing. Getting that going again, Vice President, and your leadership of that was tranformative. None of this would have happened without you just leaning in on this and just pushing so hard. His advocacy on behalf of our Armed Forces, and I see that, most people don't see this regularly. I see it all the time. The leadership, the Vice President, his care, his compassion, for all our men and women in uniform and their families is remarkable. Your advocacy, on behalf of our Armed Forces and a new generation of space professionals continues to make us stronger, safer, and more secure as we maintain America's superiority in the ultimate high ground."
"Mr. Vice President, I'm going off script again, and, I know, but, uh, I just want to personally thank you. (Voice gets emotional then Miller recovers) We've been through some stuff, we've gone through some of the most complex military operations this country has ever conducted and your steady hand and your leadership during those was, uh, uh, a great source of strength for me. Thank you for your character, thank you (emotion creeping in again) for your selfless service. Thank you for your commitment. Thank you for being a mentor to me, Mr. vice President. And with that, the floor is yours, sir."
While the comments are noteworthy, the body language speaks volumes.

copy/paste of a comment of mine from 13 days ago / still stand by this:
Ft. Drum, New York, 10th Mountain Division, Sunday, 17 January 2021
Second Lady Karen Pence introduces Vice President Mike Pence.
Listen to these speeches which come from the heart.
The courage it took to stand in the well of the House and certify the election was unfathomable. Yet, he did it. And, for the time being, sacrificed the love and respect of 75 million people. That, ladies and gentlemen, is courage.
