He said that he couldn&#8217;t comment on the case, but he did tell me that he forwarded the case to the Army&#8217;s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) for an investigation and he said that their investigation would lead them to send it to the FBI if it warranted that action. I&#8217;m thinking that if there wasn&#8217;t anything wrong with the orders, Mr Avery wouldn&#8217;t have sent it to the CID.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here are the rest of Miller&#8217;s records which don&#8217;t show any Purple Heart or any reason that he would have earned one;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=66437\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-66437\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Wesley-Miller-FOIA-318x333.jpg\" alt=\"Wesley Miller FOIA\" width=\"318\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-66437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Wesley-Miller-FOIA-318x333.jpg 318w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Wesley-Miller-FOIA-287x300.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Wesley-Miller-FOIA.jpg 701w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=66438\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-66438\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Wesley-Miller-Awards-281x333.jpg\" alt=\"Wesley Miller Awards\" width=\"281\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-66438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Wesley-Miller-Awards-281x333.jpg 281w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Wesley-Miller-Awards-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Wesley-Miller-Awards.jpg 597w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking that Dimbulb, here, thinks that &#8220;posthumously&#8221; means after his discharge and not realizing that it means after his death.
