🖤 Honoring Black Veterans | Black History Month 🖤

Doris Miller
World War II | U.S. Navy Mess Attendant 2nd Class

During the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Mess Attendant 2nd Class Doris “Dorie” Miller was serving as a cook aboard the USS West Virginia. When the ship came under heavy fire, Miller carried wounded sailors to safety and, despite having no formal training, took control of a machine gun and fired at attacking enemy aircraft.

For his extraordinary courage and heroism under fire, Miller became the first African American awarded the Navy Cross, one of the Navy’s highest honors for valor.

His actions challenged barriers, changed history, and left a legacy of bravery and service that continues to inspire generations of Sailors and Veterans.

The holiday season brings joy for many, but it can also be an incredibly difficult time for some in our military and veteran community.
Some are facing their first holiday without a loved one.
Some are deployed or have a loved one deployed.
Others may be feeling the weight of loneliness, stress, or grief.

As part of the Governor’s Challenge to Prevent Su***de Among Service Members, Veterans, and Their Families, we are sharing this updated Louisiana SMVF Resource Card to ensure every service member, veteran, and family member knows that support is here — 24/7.

Please save and share this resource card. You never know who might need it today.

If you or someone you know needs help:
📞 Dial 988, then Press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line
📱 Call 225-219-5000 for LDVA assistance

This holiday season, let’s check on one another, lift up those who may be struggling, and remind our military and veteran families that they are not alone — not during the holidays, and not ever.
