John Miller

John Miller was an American medic during WW2.

Biography
John was born in 1904 to Alan Miller, in Louisiana. Though his father was a humble factory worker, John wanted a different life from an early age, though he received little support. He displayed great intellectual ability in school and would go on to study medicine at University, then become a doctor. He would marry in 1929 and have 5 children. When the US joined WW2, Miller applied to be a medic.

In the war
Miller fought in North Africa, Italy and the Western Front, including at the D-Day landings on Omaha Beach. Miller displayed considerable skills as a soldier, killing many enemy soldiers, despite being a medic. He comrades often commented that he would get carried away, focusing too much on fighting the enemy, rather than taking care of his fellow soldiers. In truth, Miller was sick of his mundane life as a doctor back home, and found the chaos of war to be exhilarating. Eventually, during the Battle of the Bulge, his squad mates had had enough. His officer threatened to have him court martialled for neglecting his duties. In response to this, Miller would run into an open field to treat an injured soldier behind a fallen tree, but would be killed by an enemy machine gun as he ran.
