## Resource

A new aircraft carrier, set to be the first named after a Black American enlisted sailor, may be renamed to honor President Donald Trump — sparking emotional outcry from Doris Miller’s family. The USS Doris Miller, under construction and slated for 2034, was originally chosen to recognize Miller’s heroic actions at Pearl Harbor, where he earned the Navy Cross as a mess attendant before dying in combat in 1943. Though the Navy has not confirmed any name change, Miller’s family is grappling with sadness and anxiety as they fight to preserve his legacy — a milestone that broke tradition by honoring an enlisted man over a president. Letters of support have poured in, but the family insists no official word has come from the Navy yet. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
