Mess Specialist Miller earned the Navy Cross for his heroism, which is the second-highest award a squid can win. He should have won the coveted Medal of Honor (even Admiral Chester Nimitz himself seemed to think so), but you are correct when you point out that race issues of the day probably kept that one off his chest.
Let's be careful out there.
