The bill authorizes the President to award Doris Miller the Medal of Honor after his death for acts of valor during World War II. It removes time limits that might otherwise prevent the award. Miller had previously received the Navy Cross for his actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
If enacted, the bill would allow the President to make this posthumous award. It does not require the President to do so.
