MARTINS FERRY, Ohio - A West Virginia soldier serving in Iraq is trying to find a bone marrow match for his ailing father and has turned to his fellow soldiers for help.

When Chief Warrant Officer Ty Miller, of Wheeling, found out that his father was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, a form of pre-leukemia, he knew he had to do what he could to help find the bone marrow match his father needs to survive.
