In this episode of Duty & Valor, we spotlight the incredible story of Command Sergeant Major Franklin D. Miller, a Green Beret who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during the Vietnam War. Over six tours in Vietnam, Miller faced the unimaginable, serving with MACV-SOG, a secretive Special Forces unit tasked with some of the most dangerous missions of the war. On January 5, 1970, leading a seven-man team deep in enemy territory, Miller faced overwhelming odds when a massive North Vietnamese Army force attacked. Severely outnumbered, Miller fought relentlessly for hours, single-handedly holding off 100 enemy soldiers while rescuing his wounded teammates. His remarkable courage and endurance in the face of near-certain death stand as a testament to his warrior spirit. Join us as we explore his extraordinary life and the legacy he left behind.
