Alvah Miller CO for the 3rd Bat. Army Airborne Rangers killed at Cisterna, Italy? He was mentioned in the Book, "Agony At Anzio" and a Ranger's site but little else. As the family history tells he and his men were pinned down just outside of Cisterna. Several of his men testified he went after a Panzer with just his Carbine and Grenades but was gunned down by an unseen second tank. If this is the historical factual event that day he would have been inline for the "Congressional Medal Of Honor" yet he seems to have been lost to obscurity under the intensity of the larger issue' Anzio! Mjr. Alvah Miller would appear to be worth more then three or four sentances in history dispite Anzio in my opinion. Our family is proud of the military history (maternal) dating back nearly 400 years in this country. Via our lineage through Adams, Livingston, Stuyvesant and Meyer families. Mjr. Miller is just one story lost to history needing to be told to the masses. Miller's family bloodline runs straight through some of America's greatest names: Gen. Albert Meyer, Gen. Peter Stuyvesant, Henry Adams of Braintree, Mass. (whose sons not only lead to his family but two of our presidents. ) He was directly related to the founder of Livingstone Manor (Robert Livingston), Philip, not to mention Samuel Adams! His story is a source of family pride when it should be American Pride! If by chance he was ever written about or if you know of a source please respond Thank You, FGH. i wonder if anyone would have info on a Mjr. Alvah Miller CO for the 3rd Bat.
