Navy Aircraft Carrier to Be Named for Black Pearl Harbor Veteran

Miller was working as a mess attendant on the battleship West Virginia the morning of Dec. 7, 1941, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. An alarm sounded, and as the ship drew heavy fire, Mr. Miller raced to assist the West Virginia’s fatally wounded commanding officer. He also fired a machine gun against enemy planes.

Which proves that heroism is color blind. I salute Mr. Miller!
 
Worth mentioning GUNO, what the sailor did was worthy of COURT MARTIAL. I don't know about all services but the NAVY at the time didn't allow skills/crafts/rates for black sailors in OPERATING GUNS!

"Justice" DELAYED is "JUSTICE" DENIED. MOST of these stories don't have happy endings. The US MILITARY systematically withheld AWARDS and MEDALS from Negroes and JEWS throughout and AFTER the 2nd WW. Depending on the tenacity, guts, relentlessness, resources of the families left behind to go through the 'paperwork/records', letter writings, appeal after appeal and shaming of the services and/or their elected officials, these stories rarely turned out well.

This was a fucking MIRACLE.

Heroism is always colorblind. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is unrelentingly subject to 'identity politics'. Especially if there is a piece of paper and someone has to sign 'his' name to it!

And, I appreciate you saluting MR. MILLER!

At the time "black sailors were not allowed to serve in combat positions." However December 7 1941 was a special day and all the rules went out the window.

Not according to the 'expert' CBS was using in their story on this this AM. Having said that, I of course, presume no one as taking notes of sailors to 'report' THAT day. There was a fight to give him the NAVY medal he is wearing here. Everyone refused until ROOSEVELT did it--for POLITICS and because he earned it.

Well you know what an "expert" is don't you? A has been drip. :laugh:
 
I thought guno wanted all our older Americans to die? Why would he care if one of them received their medals?

Thanks to ALL our veterans of that era (and all veterans in general), your sacrifices are worthy of more than just a medal.
