Serving aboard USS West Virginia (BB 48), Mess Attendant Doris “Dorie” Miller was collecting laundry when the attack began. With his battle station damaged by a torpedo, Miller headed to help elsewhere. He first helped to carry injured shipmates to safety, and later operated a machine gun until it ran out of ammunition. For his actions that day, Miller was presented with the Navy Cross. This coin, part of our National Numismatic Collection, commemorates Miller and his actions that day. Miller’s Navy Cross citation reads: “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." On January 20, 2020, the U.S. Navy announced the service would name an aircraft carrier after him, USS Doris Miller (CVN 81), which will be the first aircraft carrier named for an enlisted Sailor and the first named for an African American. 📷: Bust of Dorie Miller with text “Dorie Miller, 1919-1943” 📷: Engraving of Navy Cross with text “Awarded the Navy Cross for Heroism at Pearl Harbor, May 27, 1942 — @usnavy #NavyHistory #PearlHarbor #DorieMiller #NavyCross」12月7日 23時00分
