Sgt. Sean H. Miles was the best in every way. He was the best son, the best brother, the best father and husband, and the best Marine. Sean was born in 1977 to his proud parents, Michael and Deborah.

Sean was the type of Marine that is the backbone of the military. He was the type of man that few men can be, but that most spend their lives trying to become. Self-sacrifice came second nature to Sean, and he spent his life not only knowing right and wrong, but defending and protecting his fellow man, all the way to the very end.

Sean was killed on January 24, 2006, when, as his unit was receiving heavy enemy fire, he was struck while pushing a fellow Marine to safety.

Sean has made his mark in this world, in so many ways, and his memory and legacy live on in his family, his son, his friends, his fellow Marines, and even those who simply hear about the life that he led.
