For perspective, American Carriers are the most powerful Ships of the Line...

ON THE PLANET. Big deal for a man of big character.

If you don't know his story, you better call somebody.

If I had any say in the matter. The first and brand new shiniest anything built for the navy would have been named after - Doris Miller.

Not how many decades after the fact on Martin Luther King day. Dammit; All the schools in my town and surrounding areas have a day off from school. There goes my travel plans to celebrate.

I thought this thread was about a girl I once dated named Doris Miller. Glad to see it about a true WW II hero.

It truly boggles the mind. As soon as they print those $20s with Harriet Tubman on them, the Klan will evaporate like in that Avengers movie.

What's ridiculous is making a movie about Tubman's contributions and turning it into an inaccurate failure with the rousing title of "Harriet".

Given the lack of anything original being made, you'd think someone would realize an opportunity.

How dare they name a battle ship after a black man

 

[gruntking]

The day we stop using (race) to acknowledge, reward, criticize or condemn someone... we'll cease to be racist.

The penny is worth the least. It’s brown and faces the opposite direction as the others.
But **** yeah this country has come a long way.
