Senior Master Sgt. Ralph E. Miller Jr., 59, of Sharon Hill, of the Delaware Air National Guard, an aircraft mechanic during the Vietnam War and in Afghanistan, will finally be putting down his wrenches after nearly 30 years of combined military service.

He is the last member of the Vietnam War era still serving in the 166th Airlift Wing of the Delaware Air National Guard, according to Tech. Sgt. Benjamin Matwey, public affairs specialist for the unit.

“I’m a little anxious. It’s going to be interesting to see what my next career’s going to be — I’ve been around these guys for 20-plus years,” said Miller, a full-time enlisted man at the air base at New Castle County Airport.
