It is always a honor and privilege to feature the men and women who have bravely served, defending our country and our freedoms. Let us never take for granted their great sacrifice, and the sacrifices of those who gave all to keep this great nation free.
This month, we are featuring hometown veteran SSG Robert C. Miles. He and his wife Angela have three children, Hayden, 10, Hudson, 8, and Hogan, 6. The family resides in Greenwood.
Miles, 37, is a 2001 graduate of Lake View High School in San Angelo, TX.
The U.S. Army Staff Sergeant has spent 16 years in service, eight years on active duty, and eight years in the Army Reserve. SSG Miles has had three overseas deployments – Operation Iraqi Freedom (2005-2006 and 2007-2008); Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) (2010-2011).
He served as a 91B, Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic during his first two deployments. Then as a company Maintenance Motor Sergeant during his last deployment.
Currently, Miles serves as an E-6/Staff Sergeant in charge of a maintenance section in the Army Reserve. He is currently serving in the 341st Engineer Multi-Role Bridge Company located in Barling, AR.
