Америка Құрама Штаттары Армиясының «Құрмет медалімен» марапатталған иесі
United States Army Medal of Honor recipient
Льюис Ли Миллетт аға (15 желтоқсан 1920 – 14 қараша 2009) – Корея соғысында соңғы маңызды американдық штыкпен шабуылға жетекшілік еткені үшін «Құрмет медалімен» марапатталған Америка Құрама Штаттары Армиясының офицері. Ол орта мектепте оқып жүрген кезінде АҚШ Ұлттық гвардиясына қосылды, содан кейін 1940 жылы АҚШ Армиясының Әуе корпусына қосылды. АҚШ-тың Екінші дүниежүзілік соғысқа қатыспайтынын ойлағандықтан, ол қашып, досымен бірге Канадаға кетіп, Канада армиясына қосылып, Лондонға жіберілді. Ол қысқа уақыт бойы Лондондағы Канада күштерінде қызмет етті, бірақ көп ұзамай соғысқа қосылған АҚШ Армиясына ауысты. Екінші дүниежүзілік соғыста Армияда қызмет еткен кезде, ол жанып тұрған оқ-дәрі жүкті жарылыстан бұрын солдаттар тобынан қашырып алып, «Күміс жұлдыз» алды. Корея соғысы кезінде ол АҚШ армиясының ең жоғары наградасы – «Құрмет медалімен» марапатталды. Марапаттамада ол жауға қарсы сәтті штыкпен шабуыл жасағаны айтылған. Кейін ол Вьетнам соғысында да қызмет етті. 1973 жылы Армиядан зейнеткерлікке шығып, 2009 жылы жүрек жеткіліксіздігінен қайтыс болды.
Lewis Lee Millett Sr. (December 15, 1920 – November 14, 2009) was a United States Army officer who received the Medal of Honor during the Korean War for leading the last major American bayonet charge. He enlisted in the U. S. National Guard while still in high school and then in 1940 joined the U. S. Army Air Corps. When he thought that the United States would not participate in World War II he deserted and went to Canada with a friend where they joined the Canadian Army and were sent to London. He served briefly with the Canadian Forces in London but soon transferred to the U. S. Army, which had since joined the war. While serving with the Army in World War II, he received a Silver Star for driving a burning ammunition truck away from a group of soldiers before it exploded. During the Korean War, he was awarded the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor. The citation explains that he successfully led a bayonet charge against the enemy. He later served in the Vietnam War as well. He retired from the Army in 1973 and died of congestive heart failure in 2009.
Ерте өмір
Милетт 1920 жылдың 15 желтоқсанында Мэханик-Фолс қаласында дүниеге келді және демалысқа шығу құқығынан айырылды. 1951 жылдың 7 ақпанында Милетт Оңтүстік Кореяда 27-ші жаяу әскер полкінің 2-ші батальонының Е ротасының капитаны және командирі болып қызмет етті. Сол күні Соам Ни маңында, ол өз ротасын Сонгтан немесе Анян жанындағы 180-ші төбенің басындағы жау позициясына шабуылға бастады. Бір взвод қалың отқа түскен кезде, Милетт екінші взводты алға жіберіп, екі топты біріктіріп, төбеге көтерді. Штығын қолданып, қол гранаталарын лақтыра отырып, Милетт қолға-қол соғыс кезінде әскерлеріне жігер берді. Төбеге жеткен соң, оның сарбаздары жау позициясын басып алып, оларды кері шегінуге мәжбүрледі. Граната сынықтарынан тізесіне жараланғанымен, Милетт позиция қауіпсіздігі қамтамасыз етілгенге дейін эвакуацияланбауға бас тартты. 1960 жылдардың ортасында ол Массачусетс штатындағы Форт-Девенс қаласындағы Армия қауіпсіздік агенттігінің оқу орталығына басшылық етті. Миссуридегі Парк колледжінде (қазіргі Парк университеті) саяси ғылымдар бакалавры дәрежесін алды.
Millett was born on December 15, 1920, in Mechanic Falls, Maine. and stripped of his leave privileges. By February 7, 1951, Millett was serving in South Korea as a captain and commander of Company E of the 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment. On that day, near Soam Ni, he led his company in an assault on an enemy position atop Hill 180 near Songtan or Anyang. When one platoon became pinned down by heavy fire, Millett took another platoon forward, joined the two groups, and led them up the hill. Wielding his bayonet and throwing hand grenades, Millett yelled encouragement to his soldiers throughout the hand to hand fight. Upon reaching the top of the hill, his men stormed the enemy position and forced the opposing soldiers to withdraw. Although wounded in the shin by grenade fragments, Millett refused to be evacuated until the position was secured. In the mid 1960s, he commanded the Army Security Agency training center at Fort Devens, Massachusetts. he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Park College (now known as Park University) in Missouri.

Millett was born on December 15, 1920, in Mechanic Falls, Maine. and stripped of his leave privileges. By February 7, 1951, Millett was serving in South Korea as a captain and commander of Company E of the 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment. On that day, near Soam Ni, he led his company in an assault on an enemy position atop Hill 180 near Songtan or Anyang. When one platoon became pinned down by heavy fire, Millett took another platoon forward, joined the two groups, and led them up the hill. Wielding his bayonet and throwing hand grenades, Millett yelled encouragement to his soldiers throughout the hand to hand fight. Upon reaching the top of the hill, his men stormed the enemy position and forced the opposing soldiers to withdraw. Although wounded in the shin by grenade fragments, Millett refused to be evacuated until the position was secured. In the mid 1960s, he commanded the Army Security Agency training center at Fort Devens, Massachusetts. he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Park College (now known as Park University) in Missouri.
