We the American people would like the Congress, and Military to appropriately recognize Doris "Dorie" Miller for his actions he took on Dec, 7 1941, against a strong Japanese attack on Perl Harbor.
Doris Miller was gathering laundry when the attack began, and the West Virginia became a target for Japanese torpedoes. Dropping the laundry, he ran to his assigned battle station that was an anti-aircraft battery magazine. It was commonplace for all personnel to have a combat task regardless of job. When Miller arrived at his station, he noticed it was already damaged by enemy fire and rendered useless. He sought to contribute in any way he could. He took charge of the deck gun and opened fire towards the enemy. He was awarded the Navy Cross, but many feel it should've been the M.O.H.
