Kevin L. Miller
President & Chairman - Georgia Veterans Day Association, Inc.
Kevin L. Miller is a U.S. Army veteran, defense industry professional, veterans advocate, and organizational leader whose career has been defined by service to the military and veteran communities.
Originally from Franklin, Pennsylvania, Miller entered the United States Army in 1990. He completed One Station Unit Training as an Indirect-Fire Infantryman at Fort Benning, Georgia. His first assignment was with the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, at Camp Greaves along the Korean Demilitarized Zone. He subsequently served with the 5th Infantry Division at Fort Polk, Louisiana, before completing the U.S. Army Airborne School and joining the 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
On March 23, 1994, while serving with the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, Miller was injured in the mass-casualty event at Pope Air Force Base known as the “Disaster at Green Ramp.” The tragedy claimed the lives of 24 Paratroopers and injured more than 100 others. Miller received treatment at Womack Army Medical Center and later at Brooke Army Medical Center. Because of the permanent nature of his injuries, he separated from the United States Army in 1996 and relocated to Atlanta, Georgia.
Following his military service, Miller built a professional career in the defense industry, serving in leadership and consulting roles with defense and international companies. He is also a featured speaker and panelist and serves as an advisor to multiple organizations.
Kevin’s commitment to service continued through his work on behalf of veterans. In 2001, he joined the Georgia Veterans Day Parade Association of Atlanta as a Director. Since 2010, he has served as President and Chairman of the Board, leading the organization’s transformation into the Georgia Veterans Day Association (GVDA) to reflect its expanded mission of honoring Veterans and recognizing their service throughout the year.
In 2022, Kevin was awarded the Georgia Commendation Medal by the Governor and the Adjutant General of Georgia. In recognition of his two decades of volunteer service to the Georgia Veterans Day Association, he also received the President’s Volunteer Service Award.
His service in Korea also led to an enduring commitment to strengthening the bonds between Korea Defense Veterans and the Republic of Korea. As a member of the Korea Defense Veterans Association (KDVA), Miller was selected in November 2021 to participate in the inaugural Revisit Korea Program for Korea Defense Veterans, presented by the Republic of Korea Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs in partnership with KDVA. In October 2022, he was appointed President of the KDVA Georgia Chapter. He joined the staff of KDVA Headquarters in January 2024 and serves as Membership Coordinator, supporting the association’s growth and member engagement.
Miller also serves on the Board of Directors of the National Infantry Museum Foundation in Columbus, Georgia. In recognition of his service to the Infantry and Airborne communities, he has been awarded the Order of Saint Maurice and the Order of Saint Michael–Airborne.
In 2025, the Republic of Korea Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs presented Miller with a Letter of Appointment to the Veterans Honors Club in recognition of his continued work honoring and supporting Korean War and Korea Defense Veterans.
Miller is a Life Member of the National Infantry Association, 82nd Airborne Division Association, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment Association, 2nd Infantry Division Association, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Disabled American Veterans.
