Description
Above and beyond the call of duty--Dorie Miller received the Navy Cross at Pearl Harbor, May 27, 1942. Doris (Dorie) Miller (October 12, 1919 - November 24, 1943) was an American Naval hero. During the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 Miller manned anti-aircraft guns, (despite having no formal training in their use), and attended to the wounded. For his actions, he was recognized by the Navy and awarded several medals. He was the first African-American to be awarded the Navy Cross. Nearly two years after Pearl Harbor, he was killed in action when his ship, Liscome Bay, was sunk by a Japanese submarine during the Battle of Makin. Artist David Stone Martin, 1943.
