Item Description
1.25" with W&H back paper. Some very light hairlines on the upper half but just catching reflected light with the button still displaying Mint. Miller was ship's cook 3rd Class on the U.S.S. West Virginia at the time of the attack. He moved his wounded ship's captain to an area of safety and then took over a machine gun to down several Japanese planes. Miller was one of the first heroes of WWII and was cited for his bravery. Scarce.
