HR 1251 will authorize the President to posthumously award the Medal of Honor to Doris Miller for acts of valor as a member of the Navy during World War II. Dorie Miller was an all-American hero. His dedication to the United States Navy and his fellow Sailors was above and beyond anything expected of him. His bravery in the face of the enemy during his tenure onboard the battleship USS West Virginia has earned him this highest honor.
