Corporal Archie Miller of Portsmouth, Ohio was finally ordered home when he received his 5th Purple Heart in 1945. While in battle, under enemy fire, and fighting for that flag and the American people, Miller was wounded 2 times by sniper fire, 2 times by mortar fire, and was last wounded by a Japanese hand grenade.
His wife said he was too tough to die.

“His wife said he was too tough to die”.

I bet she phrased it a bit differently than that, this is the sanitized, fit for publication version. LOL

I was born in Portsmouth. They grow them tough down there.
