The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Lieutenant, Junior Grade R. Arthur Miller (NSN: 0-430018), United States Navy, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving with Detachment No. 7, Helicopter Squadron ONE at Changyon, Korea, on 14 December 1950. As the pilot of a helicopter, Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Miller was assigned the mission of locating and effecting the rescue of friendly troops cut off and isolated deep in enemy held territory. With great skill and courage he landed his aircraft and queried Korean villagers far beyond the friendly front lines. Upon locating some friendly soldiers, he carried out his mission with complete success in the face of direct attack by three hostile jet fighters upon his unarmed and completely unprotected aircraft. Continuing his task over a period of several hours he assisted in evacuating by helicopter, with disregard for his own personal safety, twenty-three soldiers who were cut off and isolated deep in enemy held territory. Lieutenant, Junior Grade, Miller’s heroic actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
