<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.

<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/>&nbsp;<br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
USS JACK MILLER earned the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal w/ two battle stars and the WWII Victory Medal during her Naval career.<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - 1st Lt. Jack Miller, USMCR (April 2 1920 - December 4 1942)<br/> 
Miller served in the Marine Corps Reserve as a Second Lieutenant from May 19 - October 31 1941. Commissioned First Lieutenant, USMC, at Quantico, Va., November 1 1941, he volunteered for "Carlson's Raiders" and went to the Pacific. On December 3 1942, as commanding officer of a platoon which had the point at Guadalcanal, he daringly led a flank attack on a strong enemy combat patrol engaged by his battalion at the summit of the hill. Realizing the advance of his platoon was being held up by hostile machine gun fire, he dauntlessly led the assault on the Japanese gun position, acquiring wounds from which he died the following day. Lt. Miller was posthumously awarded the '''Navy Cross'''.<br/><br/> 
The ships sponsor was Mrs. Henry S. Miller, mother of Lt. Miller.
