"To escape the persecution of the Czar of Russia, Pete Miller and Katherine Kehm immigrated to America as Germans from Russia, settling in Lexington, NE. To their union was born 3 daughters and 8 sons. All 8 of the Millers brothers proudly and bodly served and sacrificed for our great nation, America. John served in the US Army from 1940-1943, giving the ultimate sacrifice on Attu in the Allutian Islands. Pete served in the US Army from 1943-44 also giving the ultimate sacrifice on Omaha Beach in France. David proudly made his career serving in the US Army from 1944-1964. He served overseas in Japan, Germany, Kagnew Station in Asmara Eritrea- Ethiopia and Korea. Stateside he served at Fort Dix -New Jersey, Fort Bliss - El Paso, TX and Fort Knox KY.
