Statement From Miller's Family:
In lieu of gifts/flowers, donations may be made in PFC Miller's name to
the USO. The family requests privacy at this most difficult time.
PFC Cale Miller. United States Army, Overland Park, Kansas, was killed
during a combat mission in Maiwand, Kandahar Province, Afghanistan on
May 24, 2012. Cale was a member of Company B, 4th Battalion, 23rd
Infantry Regiment, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team(SBCT) Fort Lewis,
Washington.
Cale was a 2007 graduate of Olathe Northwest High School and attended the University of Kansas and Baker University.
As he did throughout his life, his final act on this earth was selfless,
and his sacrifice prevented the deaths of several of his Battle
Buddies. Cale was a hero in everyday life, always putting others before
himself, including giving his life so that others may live. He was also a
warrior on the battlefield, and his loss is felt sharply by his fellow
soldiers.
His mother, Deborah Collins, said of her son, “Although we are
devastated by our loss, we find comfort knowing that Cale died doing
exactly what he wanted to do. His sacrifice shall not be in vain, and we
rest assured knowing that some good will come from his untimely death.
We love him to the moon and back.”
