Many of the troops briskly passed through the gantlet of supporters, Miller and New Jersey Devils defenseman Brian Rafalski included, on their way to other flights that would take them home. But upon seeing Miller, Army Spc. Cody Anderson dropped his dusty duffel bag to pose for pictures. Anderson, of Alpena, Mich., remembered Miller from his Michigan State days.
"With all the controversy about what's going on in the world today," Anderson said, "it's good to see that some people still appreciate us, especially somebody of that caliber."
A soldier named William Miller, who declined to provide his rank or hometown because he was rushing to get home, tore the 1st Cavalry Division patch from his fatigues and handed it to his famous namesake. Miller the All-Star was "blown away" by the All-World Miller.
"It just keeps getting a little more crazy to me that we can make such a difference," Miller said.
