West Point is ARMY.

Annapolis is NAVY/Marines.
You think racist dont go to Annapolis?

Army and Navy officials try to determine meaning of hand signs that service academy personnel appeared to use on national TV during Army-Navy football game

I'm not going to denounce this action. It is so rare a black person gets any kind of recognition. Check the history books on WWII you would think we had no roll during the war.

Symbolic? Yeah but to Doris Miller and his family to get an aircraft named after you is an incredible honor.

Dope post OP... Thanks for sharing this news.
Back in those days, Navy men could only be Cooks, porters, or work in laundry. Because of the stuff that Dorie Miller and the Black military veterans of his day, I could join the Navy working in logistics, which is what I did and how I make my money now

Add to that he probably wasn't considered qualified to use that weapon.
