Dorie Miller served in the United States Navy during World War II as a Mess Attendant First Class. Although he was primarily assigned to kitchen duties, he became famous for his heroic actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor, where he manned an anti-aircraft gun and shot down enemy planes, despite having no formal training for the role. His bravery earned him the Navy Cross, making him one of the first African Americans to receive this honor.
