Bill overview
This bill seeks to authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor posthumously to Doris Miller, a Navy sailor who displayed extraordinary bravery during the attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II. The bill highlights Miller’s actions, which included assisting wounded sailors and operating a machine gun under heavy fire, despite being initially overlooked for recognition. It addresses the historical disparity in Medal of Honor awards for African-American service members during that conflict and seeks to rectify this injustice.
