More than 1,000 people turned out yesterday to pay tribute to a 23-year-old Sudbury soldier who was killed during his first month of deployment in Afghanistan.
Army 1st Lt. Scott Milley “was afraid of spiders, but he had no fear of any man,” his father said to a crowd so large that it spilled over from the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School auditorium into the gym.
Milley had his orders changed so that he could go to Afghanistan sooner, but he “wanted no praise for what he did,” Steven Milley Sr. said, noting that he was still finding awards his son had tucked away in drawers, never mentioning them.
In his brief time in Afghanistan, Scott managed to win over a local governor, who held a memorial service after learning of his death, his father said.
