Congressional Democrats urge the Navy to preserve the USS Doris Miller’s name, citing his heroism and military tradition.
Quiver AI Summary
Lawmakers oppose ship renaming: Representatives Kweisi Mfume, Wesley Bell and Marilyn Strickland led more than 70 Democratic House members in a letter urging Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao to keep the USS Doris Miller’s name. They said reports suggested the Navy was considering renaming the ship to honor President Trump.
Arguments cited in the letter: The lawmakers said changing the name would break tradition and reduce recognition of Doris Miller, a Black Navy sailor who acted heroically during the Pearl Harbor attack. They described Miller as a symbol of “bravery, service, and patriotism” and said the ship should continue to honor him.
Related legislation: The release also said Mfume has introduced bills to award Miller the Medal of Honor posthumously and the Congressional Gold Medal. According to the statement, the measures have been referred to House committees and are backed by the National Association for Black Veterans and the Dorie Miller Medal of Honor Committee.
