what was interesting about Miller is that he could have ducked out but kept going back and putting himself in harms way

Given that he was very very low on the totem pole that shows serious commitment. Maybe they WERE looking to recognise a Black sailor for political reasons but you can't say he wasn't a really brave man...........

Of course this time they may be trying to move away from politicians - given the standard of the last 30 years

USS Bill Clinton, USS Donald Trump .... doesn't look terribly inspiring to me ,
