Honor student planned to become a commercial artist
Frederick C. Miller 3rd
Lemonte Street, Roxborough
Ranked at the top of the Class of 1967 at Dobbins Vocational High School, “Fred” Miller planned to become a commercial artist. His interests were varied: astronomy, gymnastics, baseball and football. He had attended Roxborough High School before enrolling at Dobbins, and worked part-time at a neighborhood drugstore. He was given the job after he was given a dime too much in change, and walked several blocks back to the store to return the money, his mother recalled. Miller enlisted in the Marine Corps in October 1967 and was sent to Vietnam. The rifleman was assigned to Headquarters and Service Company of the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Marine Division. Miller learned to speak Vietnamese, and made holiday cards of his own design for his family for Christmas 1968 although he was in combat. The 21-year-old lance corporal died in the base hospital at Da Nang on March 21, 1969, as a result of wounds suffered in Quang Nam Province. He was survived by his mother, stepfather and a brother.
