Miller and her father, Jerry, who graduated from West Point in 1973.
"A gray bloodline longer than any still existing at West Point" will be extended further tomorrow when 22-year-old Caroline Miller graduates from West Point, the Associated Press reports.
Seven generations of Miller's family (including one of her sisters) have graduated from the school. Miller's ancestors, AP writes:
Have fought in the Civil War, World War I, World War II and Vietnam. They have served since her great-great-great-great grandfather graduated when Andrew Jackson was president 173 years ago. Her father graduated here.
"I consider it more of a privilege than a burden," Miller, 22, told AP. "I'm walking where my great-grandfathers have walked and I'm having the same opportunity that they had, to see what they saw, to do what they used to do. I'm part of an incredible tradition."
