| From Uzbekistan, SSgt Miller and MWD Marco forward deployed to Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, being the first MWD team into Afghanistan. While there, SSgt Miller and MWD Marco were tasked to clear the US Embassy of potential explosive threats. As one of the first Americans to enter the embassy in over a decade, SSgt Miller and MWD Marco completed the sweep finding some old loaded magazines and a fuse from a cannon. SSgt Miller, along with an EOD technician, found the American flag crumpled in the corner of the office. SSgt Miller and his fellow team members cased the flag and laid it on the center of the US Ambassadors former desk, waiting for it to be returned to duty. | |
