Cook Third Class Doris Miller’s Navy Cross Citation.
CITATION: “For distinguished devotion to duty, extraordinary courage and disregard for his own personal safety during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii, by Japanese forces on December 7, 1941. While at the side of his Captain on the bridge, Miller, despite enemy strafing and bombing and in the face of a serious fire, assisted in moving his Captain, who had been mortally wounded, to a place of greater safety, and later manned and operated a machine gun directed at enemy Japanese attacking aircraft until ordered to leave the bridge.”
Miller displayed bravery and ingenuity on December 7. I am not sure that that rises to his name being on a CVN. a Destroyer yes, but not a CVN.
Why not????
Much better than USS CLINTON, OBAMA or any other politician.
“I am not sure that that rises to his name being on a CVN. a Destroyer yes, but not a CVN.”
Let me explain; he’s black.
