No he was not, but he did get awarded the navy cross which is the secord highest medal in the navy. Sincerly Reaper7924 To make it confusing, when Miller was awarded the Navy Cross it was the third highest decoration. The Distinguished Service Cross was second. After WWII the order was changed. Some historians contend that had Miller been white, he would have been awarded the Medal of Honor.
