Happy Birthday to A Brave American Soldier
By: Fred  McMillan

My father, David L. McMillan turned 86 years of age on Sunday (June 26th).

Born & raised in Lumberton North Carolina, located in Robeson County, Mr. McMillan was the middle son, and seventh child in a family of twelve. Two other brothers also served in WWII, and were honorably discharged after the war. Mr. McMillan enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1942, and retired at the rank of Master Sergeant in 1967. In WWII, he fought in the battle

of Salerno, in Italy, as a member of the 92nd Division. While in Italy, her fought in many other smaller battles, and was wounded in action. For this, he received the purple heart (see attached picture). His Buffalo Unit later joined up with the 144th, in Germany, under General Patton. Patton also commanded the 3rd Army. Sergeant McMillan participated in the Berlin Air Lift, while under Patton’s command.

After WWII, Sergeant McMillan returned to the U.S., where he married and was stationed at Ft. Lewis, Fort Ord, and Fort Bragg, N.C.

In 1952, Sergeant McMillan was stationed in Seoul Korea, serving in the Cavalry. While in Korea, he patrolled the always tenuous 49th parallel during a very intense part of that war. After serving two tours of Duty in Korea, Master Sergeant McMillan returned to the states, and was assigned to Special Services. He returned to Korea in 1964, where he served for 18 months. Sergeant McMillan finally retired in 1967, when it appeared that he might be sent to Vietnam. Sergeant McMillan remarked that “three wars just seemed unlucky to me”.

Mr. McMillan now resides in Massachusetts, a half mile from his son Fred. He keeps his numerous war medals in his sock drawer, including conduct medals, Bronze Star, and a dozen or more campaign ribbon bars. He is a quiet, unassuming hero, who loves his family, God, and his country. He has asked me to frame his “Brave Soldier” certificate, which he was thrilled to receive. His comment about the special edition Map Knife, which he is holding in the pictures, was “you sure could do a lot with this knife. It’s a beauty!” The first task he used the knife for? Cracking open walnuts and hickory nuts, both of which he loves.
