Navy Aircraft Carrier to Be Named for Black Pearl Harbor Veteran

[RB 60]

you will always be the sniveling military avoiding coward

What's wrong, racist Master's Degree professional? Can't use you're "intelligence" to come up with something other than the same old shit? America hating scum you are...

[RB 60]

What a stupid bit of logic, but this is you, RB 60. When it comes to white privilege and race, yes, I err on the side of race.

So you admit you're also a racist?

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.

Guano is over 70 ffs, he spent his service in the South China Sea cleaning out the bilges and rarely saw daylight!

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.

Only a foolish racist would ask such a stupid question as yours.

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.

Negroes? Seriously?

[countryboy]

What a splendid idea!

How many ships did Obama name after black heroes?

[evince]

Negroes? Seriously?

what racist piece of shit you are

[countryboy]

what racist piece of shit you are

For pointing out the use of an antiquated term for blacks, used by one of your Soviet comrades? Shut up racist.

A former GOP congressman’s fight to finally get a black World War II hero the Medal of Honor

Do to racism of that time, Doris Miller did not receive the Medal of Honor, and after shooting down four enemy planes, he went back to the ship's mess?!! Blacks were not allowed in combat arms positions in the segregated military?!!

For much of the past three decades, Joseph DioGuardi, a former Republican congressman from New York, has waged an often lonely crusade to persuade reluctant federal, military, and civilian officials to honor Doris “Dorie” Miller — an African-American hero of World War II and survivor of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor — with a Medal of Honor, the highest U.S. military recognition.

On Friday, DioGuardi returns to Washington to try it once again. He plans to speak on a panel during the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s annual meeting and, after lobbying there, he intends to work the convention hall, passing out literature to drum up support to press Congress and the White House to finally give Miller his overdue honor.
