Early life and education

Milley's father, Alexander (1924–2015), enlisted in the U.S. Navy in March 1943 as a Navy Corpsman. He was assigned to the 4th Marine Division and landed at Kwajalean, Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima. After the war, he worked as a restaurateur and food-broker.[3][4] Milley's mother, Mary Elizabeth (nee Murphy), served in the Navy at a Seattle-based hospital.[5]

Born in Winchester, Massachusetts, Milley attended Belmont Hill School.[6] Milley's father was a Roman Catholic as implied by his father's obituary which mentiond his father's membership in the Knights of Columbus whose membership is limited to practicing Catholic men.[7]...
