The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to Technician Fifth Grade Levern H. Miller (ASN: 39157152), United States Army, for gallantry in action while serving as a Medical Aidman with Company F, 2d Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82d Airborne Division, in action on 21 July 1943, at Tumminello Pass, 13 miles northwest of Sciacca, Sicily. Technician Fifth Grade Miller was attached to Company A as Medical Aidman when his organization, approaching Tumminello Pass, was pinned down by heavy machine gun, rifle, mortar, and artillery fire, at a range of approximately four hundred yards. During this fire fight, four men of Technician Fifth Grade Miller’s organization were seriously wounded, requiring immediate medical attention. These men were exposed with no cover nearby. Technician Fifth Grade Miller, with complete disregard for his own safety, exposed himself, and braving enemy fire, moved to the position of the wounded men and gave them the necessary medical aid. Technician Fifth Grade Miller’s gallant actions and selfless devotion to duty, without regard for his own safety, were in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
