PM Phillip M. Miller was my
dad. He died Sept. 21, 2000. My family spent 3 1/2 years in Tripoli. I
think my dad was in charge of the Marine Corps detachment (sp?) at the
embassy. Any of you guys serve with him? I think he was a Gunnery or
Master Sergeant at the time. I have many memories ... McLafferty,
Zapone, Cpl. Buck, Mr. Ramshaw, Cusick ... camels at the Wheelus
Elementary school ... Garian, Sabratha ... dad worried about problems
when Kennedy was assasinated ... contact me if any of this is familiar
to you ... I'd appreciate filling in some gaps that my dad didn't have
time to answer.

2004: Letter from Ms. Margie Tinsley (Capt Miller's Daughter)
Thank you so very much for
your offer.
I do have photos of my father from one of his tours (?) of Vietnam.
I am embarrassed to say that I do not know his full military record.
I do know that he retired at the rank of Captain. He served during the
Korean and Vietnam War (2 tours),
was in the Tokyo Honor Guard somewhere between 1953 and 1956;
a DI at MCRD in the early 60's; El Toro MCAS and MCAF; US Embassy,
Tripoli Libya;
Camp Lejeune (sp?); Little Creek Naval Base aboard USS Austin,
LPD-??? ...
I will endeavor to get actual dates, ranks, et al.
For now,
Born 16 June 1930
Died 21 September 2000
Again, many thanks ... for remembering ...
Margie Miller Tinsley
