Andrew Miller (Medal of Honor, 1944)
Andrew Miller (August 11, 1916 – November 29, 1944) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in World War II.
==Biography==
Miller was inducted into the Army in June 1942 from Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and by November 16, 1944 was serving as a Staff Sergeant in Company G, 377th Infantry Regiment, 95th Infantry Division.〔〔 On that day, at Woippy, France, he single-handedly captured two German machine gun positions. The next day, outside of Metz, he stayed behind while his platoon withdrew and then destroyed another enemy machine gun nest. He again distinguished himself in Metz from November 19 to November 21, when he led his men in the capture of dozens of Germans and disabled two more enemy machine guns. He was killed eight days later, on November 29, while leading his squad in a fight with German forces outside of Kerprich Hemmersdorf, Germany. For this series of actions, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on September 1, 1945.〔
Miller was buried at the Lorraine American Cemetery and Memorial in Saint-Avold, France.〔
