On this day in 1941, a cook by the name of Doris “Dorie” Miller, became a hero. Dorie as he was affectionately known would put thoughts of his own safety away and man a military weapon he had no knowledge of. Due to his bravery he was awarded the Navy Cross (The third highest honor awarded by the Navy).
