Rep. Miller received the Harry S. Truman Award from the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS). The Truman Award is the Guard Association's highest honor, and Rep. Miller receives this award following her successful efforts to give the Head of the National Guard Bureau a seat on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and to protect the Air National Guard from disproportionate cuts in the 2013 budget which would have meant the elimination of the 107th Fighter Squadron of the Michigan Air National Guard based at Selfridge. Rep. Miller also becomes the first women ever to receive this award. Rep. Miller was presented the Truman Award by retired Major General Gus L. Hargett Jr., the President of NGAUS, and Major General Gregory J. Vadnais, Michigan Adjutant General, at the Selfridge Air National Guard Base Community Council meeting.
