Frederick C. Miller, Jr. was probably born in May 1918 in Massachusetts, the son of Frederick C. and Dorothy N. Miller. He was raised in Watertown and Abington Massachusetts. After completing two years of college and working as an accountant, Miller enlisted in the Army in April 16, 1942 at Boston, Massachusetts. He received basic training at Camp Roberts, California.

As a 2nd Lieutenant, Miller was assigned to the 87th Mountain Infantry Regiment, where he was assigned to Company I, Company B and to the Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion. When the 87th Infantry Regiment departed Camp Hale to participate in the Kiska invasion, Miller was transferred to Company E of the 86th Infantry Regiment.
