A great hero of Pearl Harbor amongst so many heroes. The USS Doris Miller (CVN-81) will represent what makes up the backbone of the United States Navy. The enlisted man and woman who serve proudly and who are a cross section of our great nation.

So momentous that the
#USSDorisMiller is named after hero Doris "Dorie" Miller (CVN 81) & the first African American to receive a Navy Cross for his bravery during the Japanese attack on#PearlHarbor. That the ceremony was held there on#MLKDay
makes it is even MORE special.

Great to have a mighty capital ship named after a real war hero instead of a politician.

Thank you for your service,
#shipmate! You’re a man well worth the honor and the company of the others honored in the same way (Lincoln, Roosevelt, Reagan, Truman, and the rest).#USNavy#USSDorisMiller https://twitter.com/USNavy/status/1218905809880522754 …

In a roll call of
#American#aircraftcarriers, one is most likely to hear American presidents - Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Kennedy among them. Now, there will be the#USSDorisMiller , the first named for an African-American. pic.twitter.com/CjmoexqW7k -
This is amazing and should make us all very proud!

Been spending my day between cleaning the house & telling people (people who should know better) that ignoring the racist backdrop of a hero's history, is white washing that history.

A dream come true. A United States Navy aircraft carrier named for an enlisted man and a Pearl Harbor survivor. And most importantly, an American hero to us all.

The news will focus on Richmond today. Logical I suppose. What's sad is the event of a US Navy aircraft carrier being named for an enlisted Sailor that was simply heroic during Pearl Harbor will largely go unnoticed. Not on my watch.
