Hubert Miller was world champion in the 1953 four-man event, in addition to his two Olympic appearances. But he is best known for his military service. Miller served in the US Army in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Serving with the infantry during the Battle of Normandy on D-Day, he was presented with the Distinguished Service Cross for extraordinary heroism. He later earned a law degree from Albany Law School, and served in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG) beginning in 1953. He eventually rose to the rank of Colonel, retiring from the military in 1975.
