Dorie Miller(1919-1943)

Dorie Miller was a cook in the U.S. Navy. Dorie was a the first African Americans to fight on pearl harbor. When the ship was sinking Dorie saved his captain and his life and brought them both to safety. Dorie also shot down a Japanese plane. The attack on pearl harbor was on December 7, 1941. Dorie received his Navy cross on May 22, 1942. Dorie received his navy cross six months after the attack on pearl harbor because his letter of accommodation wasn't enough, So the press fought to get him the Navy cross. This portrait was made by David Stone Martin in 1943. Dorie Miller didn't sit down for this portrait as you can tell but David did an excellent job. Dorie died at the age of 24 in 1943 on a sinking ship called the Liscome Bay. Dorie Miller changes lots of lives like when he let African Americans allowed to fight and handle guns and not just cook and clean.
