Staff Sergeant Chris Miller

Join us on Operation Insight as we host Staff Sergeant Chris Miller of the U.S. Army and Army Reserve!   Soon after graduating from De Soto High School, just south of St. Louis, MO, Chris joined the Army Reserves in September 2000. There wasn't a war on, and Chris wasn't expecting much from his time in the service. That all changed merely a year later when America was attacked on 9/11. Chris soon found himself wrestling with a burning moral obligation to deploy and join the fight. Eventually, in 2007, Chris got his wish and deployed to Iraq with Bravo Company of the 321st Engineer Battalion in support of "Task Force Pathfinder". Much of SSG Miller's deployment to Ramadi, Iraq, was spent neutralizing IEDs as part of a route clearance team. That experience would forge his character and completely reshape his life. Chris now works for the Wounded Warrior Project at their St. Louis branch. He and his wife Stephanie live locally and have three daughters.   (00:00) Disclaimer (1:22) Opening Theme (1:51) Introduction (46:03) Museum Event Ad (47:06) Part II (1:04:07) Urban Ambush (1:14:58) Reality Sets In (1:28:23) Closing
