This week's American Hero of the Week is one that I am honored to share with you. In the face of adversity, Dorie Miller rose above the call of duty and saved lives during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Credited as being the first African American to receive the Navy Cross, Miller risked his life to man an anti aircraft gun as well as render aid to his injured crew mates during the attack. Miller would survive that horrific day, but would later make the ultimate sacrifice for his country in the Pacific fighting the Japanese. Please help us honor his memory.
