And War Came, 1941 Ballston Spa in World War II Play History of Us Clip: Pearl Harbor
...Pearl Harbor was not the full answer to the question of why the United States went to war. This treacherous attack was but the last explosion in a long chain reaction."
Doris "Dorie" Miller (October 12, 1919 – November 24, 1943) was an American Messmate Third Class in the United States Navy. During the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 Miller manned anti-aircraft guns, (despite having no formal training in their use), and attended to the wounded. For his actions, he was recognized by the Navy and given several medals.
He was the first African American to be awarded the Navy Cross, the third highest honor awarded by the US Navy at the time, after the Medal of Honor and the Navy Distinguished Service Medal. The Navy Cross now precedes the Navy Distinguished Service Medal.[2] Miller's acts were heavily publicized in the black press, making him an iconic emblem of the war for black Americans.[3] Nearly two years after Pearl Harbor, he was killed in action when Liscome Bay was sunk by a Japanese submarine during the Battle of Makin.
The new queen attended missionary school embraced Christianity but never lost touch with her native heritage. When he brother turned over Pearl Harbor to the Americans in 1887, she wrote in her diary that it was “a day of infamy in Hawaiian history.”
