Returning to his men, he successfully withdrew them to friendly positions. Sergeant Miller, then volunteered to lead another platoon in an attack against the enemy. Armed with an automatic rifle he assaulted an enemy machine gun emplacement, inflicting numerous casualties upon hostile forces. As a result of his dauntless leadership, his unit was able to accomplish its mission. The gallantry in action displayed by Sergeant Miller on this occasion reflect great credit upon himself and the military service.
