RIP
RIP COL,
I had the honor of meeting COL Millet, MSG Benavidez and COL Donlon at the 10th SFG(A) Ball several years ago. Sadly two of them are in the Happy Hunting Grounds preparing them for the rest of us.

Re; Col. Millett
RIP Col.. Col Millett was a life member of the SOA, too. He was always a joy to be around, and; he had a special flair for the ladies too. We shall all miss you at SOAR.

Medal of Honor citation
MILLETT, LEWIS L.
Rank and organization: Captain, U.S. Army, Company E, 27th Infantry Regiment.
Place and date: Vicinity of Soam-Ni, Korea, 7 February 1951.
Entered service at: Mechanic Falls, Maine.
Born: 15 December 1920, Mechanic Falls, Maine.
G.O. No.: 69, 2 August 1951.
Citation: Capt. Millett, Company E, distinguished himself by conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action. While personally leading his company in an attack against a strongly held position he noted that the 1st Platoon was pinned down by small-arms, automatic, and antitank fire. Capt. Millett ordered the 3d Platoon forward, placed himself at the head of the 2 platoons, and, with fixed bayonet, led the assault up the fire-swept hill. In the fierce charge Capt. Millett bayoneted 2 enemy soldiers and boldly continued on, throwing grenades, clubbing and bayoneting the enemy, while urging his men forward by shouting encouragement. Despite vicious opposing fire, the whirlwind hand-to-hand assault carried to the crest of the hill. His dauntless leadership and personal courage so inspired his men that they stormed into the hostile position and used their bayonets with such lethal effect that the enemy fled in wild disorder. During this fierce onslaught Capt. Millett was wounded by grenade fragments but refused evacuation until the objective was taken and firmly secured. The superb leadership, conspicuous courage, and consummate devotion to duty demonstrated by Capt. Millett were directly responsible for the successful accomplishment of a hazardous mission and reflect the highest credit on himself and the heroic traditions of the military service.
