John H. Miller

Yearning for the future: His only goal is to complete the mission with the fewest possible casualties so he can hang up his uniform, return to his old quiet life and, for the first time, build a home and a shared future with someone to love after the end of the conflict.

Combat Stress (Shell Shock): Suffers from an involuntary and uncontrollable tremor in the right hand caused by extreme fatigue and accumulated trauma from command under continuous fire.

Moral burden: He keeps an exact mental tally of every soldier killed under his command, justifying the losses by convincing himself that each life sacrificed serves to save more men and buy his own ticket back to civilian life.

Occupation in civilian life: Professor of Language and Literature at the high school in his hometown, as well as coach of the school's baseball team during spring afternoons.

Secrecy with the troops: He keeps his civilian profession a strict secret from his men (who often bet on what he did before the war) to maintain his command distance and prevent them from seeing him as a peaceful teacher instead of a combat captain.

Military record: He led his men through the fierce North African and Italian campaign before landing on Omaha Beach on D-Day in Normandy.
