L. MacQuarrie piloted a pair of helicopters in what was called one of the most daring air rescues of the war of eight infantrymen. At the outset of that rescue, MacQuarrie's helicopter stayed in the air initially to help direct fire from the support F-80 fighter planes. When North Korean forces opened fire on the trapped men, Miller shot at them with his .45 pistol, allowing MacQuarrie to see the location of the enemy soldiers and direct the support fighters who bombed them with napalm. In September 1952, Miller was awarded the Cheney Award for this rescue. The Cheney Award was established in honor of Lt. William Cheney who was killed in an air collision over Foggia, Italy in 1928. The award may be given every year, although it had only been rarely awarded between its establishment and Cheney receiving the award in 1952. In another rescue, Miller piloted a helicopter to rescue Major Frank H. Presley, a downed airman near Munsan. This mission was performed under severe fire and as Miller was leaving he attempted a second rescue of Captain Willis R. Brown, whose escort fighter had been shot down by anti-aircraft fire. Brown did not eject and had already died, and Miller aborted that second rescue. He would be awarded a Silver Star for this mission. By July, Miller had flown 63 rescue missions. In a nod to his performance, he was one of two pilots given the mission to fly Allied officer-delegates to peace talks at Kaesong along with Lt. Harold W. Moore. In that mission he took colonel rank officers to a conference which could have paved the way for later negotiations, although the talks would ultimately fail. Miller continued to fly rescue missions, and in September, Miller and pilots Lt. Michael Angelo Mecca, Lt. Charles J. Dupont, and Lt. Leonard A. Hughes were credited with a rescue of 14 Army engineers who had been working on a section of a pontoon bridge which had torn away from the rest at Imjin River. After the war, Williams became an instructor-pilot at Williams Air Force Base. He was later assigned to the 81st Fighter Group at Wheeler Field, Hawaii where he flew the P-47 and P-51 fighters, and then at Moses Lake, Washington where he served as a jet pilot. In 1960 he graduated from the Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base in
