To authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Doris Miller posthumously for acts of valor while a member of the Navy during World War II.

Bill 118 hr 1251, also known as the Doris Miller Medal of Honor Act, seeks to authorize the President of the United States to award the Medal of Honor posthumously to Doris Miller for his acts of valor while serving in the Navy during World War II. Doris Miller was an African American sailor who bravely fought during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Miller's actions during the attack were heroic and selfless, as he manned an anti-aircraft gun despite not being trained to do so. He helped defend his ship, the USS West Virginia, from enemy aircraft and assisted in rescuing his fellow sailors. His bravery and courage in the face of danger exemplify the qualities of a true hero.

If this bill is passed, Doris Miller will be recognized for his extraordinary bravery and sacrifice with the highest military honor, the Medal of Honor. This recognition is long overdue and will serve as a tribute to Miller's legacy and the contributions of African Americans in the military.
