On Monday (Martin Luther King holiday), the Navy Secretary announced that the Navy's newest Ford-class carrier would be named for a Pearl Harbor hero -- Mess Attendant 2nd Class Dorrie Miller, awarded the Navy Cross for his heroic actions on Dec. 7. link Jim |

Great job by the Navy in naming a ship after a real hero who served in the Navy. |

YES! Hope this is the start of a trend of NOT naming ships for 'courageous politicians who bravely risked their political careers…' |

Here's hoping the ship and her future crews will show the same courage of the namesake. |

I walk past his portrait every time I go to the admiral's office here at Pearl Harbor. Recognition for his heroism is long overdue. |
