Sgt. Marvin Lee Miller traveled the world with the Army, from the mountains of South Korea to the streets of Iraq, and he was married in Europe while stationed there in 1992. His oldest child, 17-year-old Marvin Lee Miller Jr., had planned to follow his father's path. "I was going into the military, but not no more," he said on the porch of his father's childhood home. "Not after this." Miller, 38, of Dunn, NC., was shot to death April 7 in Balad, Iraq, while on traffic duty. His unit, deployed from Germany, had been in Iraq for two months. Miller was raised by his grandparents in Dunn. Besides Marvin Jr., his son from a previous marriage, Miller had a son and two daughters with his wife Linnette Miller. The family remembered an outgoing, friendly man devoted to the military and his family. "He loved to party, and he loved his girls," said his cousin, Felicia Smith.
