Description
The Doris Miller stamp issued by USPS is a special tribute to the heroic service of Doris “Dorie” Miller during World War II. An African American sailor, Miller bravely acted in the face of danger during the attack on Pearl Harbor, helping to save the lives of his fellow shipmates and becoming the first African American to receive the Navy Cross Medal. The stamp pays homage to his bravery and trailblazing example in the face of racial discrimination and segregation in the U.S. military.
Designed by Greg Breeding, the stamp features a portrait of Miller in uniform, with a battleship and fighter plane in the background, representing the courage and heroism that Miller displayed during his service. The stamp was issued in 2020 as part of the Black Heritage series of Forever stamps, which celebrates the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout American history.
The Doris Miller Stamp is a fitting tribute to the legacy of Doris Miller, and serves as a reminder of the progress made by African Americans in the U.S. military since his time. It is a powerful symbol of the courage and determination of those who have served, and will serve, the United States in times of war and peace.
