On Dec 7, 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Dorie Miller was an American who demonstrated unbelievable bravery & courage that day. Miller was the first African American awarded the Navy Cross for shooting down at least three Japanese planes and perhaps more aboard the USS West Virginia.

The song saved his career.

So, we’re just moving on from the sedition-execution thing?

I just got confirmation that National History Day, a program that does more to ignite K-12 students' love of history, learning, and yes, even the United States than anything else I've ever seen, had all its funding cut yesterday by the DOGE-axe at the NEH - including for this year's ongoing contest.
