Ray Miller was a Technician Fifth Grade since his arm rank has two stripes with a "T" below them.
Ray would have been addressed "Corporal" or "Tech Corporal".
Above his rank is the US 7th Army insignia on his shoulder. On the lower left sleeve Ray has two Overseas Service Bars meaning he had completed one year of overseas duty - one bar for each 6 month period.
