Created ships page for Sgt Andrew Miller T-AK-242

New page

<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during
its lifetime.
The list is in chronological order.

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each name of the ship (for
example, Bushnell AG-32 / Sumner AGS-5 are different names for the same
ship so there should be one set of pages for Bushnell and one set for Sumner).
Covers should be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.
<ol>

</ol>
<p> </p>

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each name and/or commissioning period. Within each set,
the postmarks should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one
postmark has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of
earliest known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
USAT / USNS SGT. ANDREW MILLER earned the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Service Medal w/ 2 Battle stars, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, the United Nations Service Medal and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal during her Army/Navy career.<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Staff Sergeant Andrew Miller, USA. (11 August 1916 - 29 November 1944)<br/>        Miller was inducted into the Army in June 1942 from Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and by November 16, 1944 was serving as a Staff Sergeant in Company G, 377th Infantry Regiment, 95th Infantry Division. On that day, at Woippy, France, he single-handedly captured two German machine gun positions. The next day, outside of Metz, he stayed behind while his platoon withdrew and then destroyed another enemy machine gun nest. He again distinguished himself in Metz from November 19 to November 21, when he led his men in the capture of dozens of Germans and disabled two more enemy machine guns. He was killed eight days later, on November 29, while leading his squad in a fight with German forces outside of Hemmersdorf, Germany. For this series of actions, he was posthumously awarded the '''Medal of Honor''' on September 1, 1945.
