The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918 (amended by act of July 25, 1963), takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Sergeant Tommy L. Miller (ASN: RA-17727595), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations involving conflict with an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam, while serving with Company A, 3d Battalion, 22d Infantry, 3d Brigade, 25th Infantry Division. Sergeant Miller distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 1 and 2 January 1968 while helping defend a fire support base in Tay Ninh Province. Assigned to a listening post outside the compound’s perimeter, Sergeant Miller was the first to detect the enemy’s presence in the area and quickly alerted the camp’s defenses. A combined Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army force launched a devastating rocket, mortar and automatic weapons attack on the area around the listening post, and he and two comrades were wounded in the initial volley. Sergeant Miller quickly treated his fellow soldiers. Remaining at his post without aid for himself, and without assistance from his seriously wounded companions, he continued to report enemy movements. He fearlessly performed his mission despite increasing numbers of enemy soldiers moving closer to his position. Calmly relaying information to the base camp as the insurgents passed by, he was instrumental in accurately directing artillery strikes on the attackers which repelled their determined assault on the compound. Sergeant Miller’s extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
