SOME PEOPLE SPEND AN ENTIRE LIFETIME WONDERING IF THEY MADE A DIFFERENCE. THE VETERANS DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM.
FOR THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR IT (FREEDOM) HAS A FLAVOR THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW. SES

From the information that i have read over the past few years and the knowledge I have of the United States Navy, the Medal of Honor is earned by performing above and beyond the call of duty in an heroic manner. Doris "Dorie" Miller did just that on that dark Sunday morning in Hawaii. If we are to truely believe that discrimination in this country is over with, we need to push for the upgrade. We just elected an african-american as our president, can we not see past the color of a mans skin and look at his brave, and heroic actions as what set him apart from everyone else. I agree theat we should all stand and salute Doris Miller for going so far above and miles beyond his call of duty. I would wager that many white men did nothing more than cry for their mommies as the Japanese attack went on. And all of this comes to you from a white, farm raised, West Virginia red-neck that grew up playing basketball at Dorie Miller Park in Lewisburg, West Virginia.

As niece of Doris Miller, and author of his biography novel, "A SILENT MEDAL OF HONOR," and the screenplay in reference to the biograpy novel, titled, "A BOY NAMED DORIS," it is as hopeful that oppositions and hostilities against the World War II hero's fame, will be overcome one great day. As expressed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "I have A dream," it has been been as hopeful in this continued mission for justice, that the dreams will come true against all conflicts, and Doris Miller will be awarded the "Congressional Medal of Honor." It is as hopeful that his long overdue biography life story will be brought to the world's attention as well; written in accordance to Vickie Gail Miller's screenplay, titled, "A BOY NAMED DORIS." Expressed to ALL! Keep hope alive, and don't give up on the dream that all obstacles will be overcome, with awardances of justice for Doris Miller, a hero very deserving of ALL due acknowledgements, honors, and awards.
