description: Official U.S. Navy Photo of Dorie Miller, steward's mate 1/C, wearing the Navy Cross medal he received at a ceremony at Pearl Harbor on May 27, 1942.

In his interview with the California Eagle, Miller said he had never fired the machine gun before the day of the Japanese invasion.

I feel that the drawing together of Negroes and white people is a good thing coming out of this war. I think that the unity of races will continue."
