About this photo
My dad, Norm Miller, donated the computer I used to run this website. I thought I’d give him a little space here and show him in full gear with his radio.
I hate to say it, but he might even be a touch more handsome than I am.
From the company archive · Norman Miller, 1970–71
A newspaper clipping saved by the Miller family reports that Norman R. Miller received the Bronze Star Medal with V device for heroism on April 19, 1970. The citation describes how he provided protective fire for wounded comrades while his company defended its perimeter near Coc A Bo Mountain in Vietnam.
