H.R. 2335 — To authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Doris Miller posthumously for acts of valor while a member of the Navy during World War II.

This section states congressional findings on the heroism of Doris Miller, an African-American sailor during the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941—including his assistance to wounded personnel, manning a machine gun under fire, award of the Navy Cross on May 27, 1942, death in action on November 24, 1943, and lack of Medal of Honor awards to African Americans for similar actions—and determines that he deserves the Medal of Honor.

This section authorizes the President to award the Medal of Honor posthumously to Doris Miller under 10 U.S.C. §8291, notwithstanding time limitations in 10 U.S.C. §§8298(a) and 8300 or any other applicable restrictions, for acts of valor during World War II while a member of the Navy for which he previously received the Navy Cross.
