On Oct. 6, 2010, President Barack Obama posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor to Staff Sgt. Robert J. Miller for his heroism and valor while serving in Afghanistan in January of 2008.
President Obama honored the extraordinary courage and selfless sacrifice of Staff Sgt. Robert Miller by presenting his family with our nation's highest award, the Medal of Honor. This will be the third time the Medal of Honor has been presented by President Obama.
Only 24 years old, Miller impressed everyone on his team. Although the youngest member of A Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), Fort Bragg, N.C., he quickly earned a reputation for taking on difficult challenges and leading from the front according to numerous interviews with other Operational Detachment-Alpha (ODA) Team Members.
