William H. Miller

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star Medal to William H. Miller (12009826), Corporal, U.S. Army, for gallantry in action while serving with Company F, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, in action against the enemy in the vicinity of Troina, Sicily, on 3 August 1943. During a fierce engagement with the enemy, Corporal Miller fearlessly crossed terrain swept by hostile machine-gun, mortar, and small-arms fire and delivered an urgent message. Despite numerous hazards, he pressed forward and accomplished his mission, thereby enabling his company to continue its attack.
