The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Major (Infantry) Robert M. Miller (ASN: 0-388301), United States Army, for gallantry in connection with military operations against an opposing armed force while serving with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division. Major Miller distinguished himself by courageous action near Anju, Korea, on 4 November 1950. His battalion was engaged in holding a strategic road net as friendly forces withdrew to new defensive positions. Shortly after the last unit passed through the battalion’s positions a numerically superior enemy force attacked and soon surrounded the battalion. In the absence of the Battalion Commander Major Miller immediately set about to organize the command to meet the overwhelming assault. With complete disregard for his own safety he repeatedly exposed himself to the intense fire to better direct the battalion in its defense. During this fearless action, Major Miller was wounded. Unmindful of his wounds he remained with his men and in an unusual display of courage and devotion to duty, led them through areas infested by the infiltrating enemy to more tenable positions. Major Miller’s gallant actions and exemplary leadership reflect the greatest credit on himself and the United States Infantry.
