Cincinnati, Ohio
After his mother died of breast cancer, James H. Miller IV turned to music for solace and started playing with a Metallica-loud band. In later years he found a new way to conquer adversity: helping others. "He took to being a medic and decided that was what he wanted to do with his life," James H. Miller III said. "He wanted to come home someday and make a living helping treat trauma victims." The 22-year-old from Cincinnati was killed on Jan. 30 in an explosion while guarding a polling place during the Iraqi election. Miller was a creative student in high school who took courses including digital imaging and music theory, said Diana Carter, principal of the high school Miller attended. "He was a very creative and energetic young man, very mature," she said. He joined the military after graduating from high school to help find discipline and a path to a new career. "He loved what he was doing over there," his father said. "He really believed in the mission we have over there."
When he was a little boy, Jimmy was always friendly, kind, and respectful. That never changed. Today is 5/28/18, Memorial Day. I feel the loss of a special young man. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Jimmy, when I think of you, you inspire me to be a better man. God Bless You Jimmy.

To the family and friends of Pfc. James H. Miller:
It has truly been my honor to sign James' guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that James will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy
