I met him as a guest at the Congressional Medal of Honor Society dinner in Riverside CA a few years back. He was quite the character. Really interesting guy and a ton of fun when you added whiskey.

I served with COL Millett's son John in the 2/504 from 76-79. I was a medic assigned to his platoon in A Company for JOTC, and we lived in the same barracks. Back then I heard a rumour that his father was a MOH recipient, but I didn't believe it and John never said anything about it. After he died in the Gander crash I finally realized it was true. It had to be a challenge to be in the military, living in his fathers shadow. I need to go through some old photo's to see if he's in any of them. He looked just like a younger version of his dad, minus the mustache.
