One pin featuring a image of Dorie Miller dates circa 1943. The pin reads, "The Hero of Pearl Harbor Dorie Miller." It features a portrait of Miller in the center and then sketches on either side of him. The left sketch is a figure in sailor uniform shooting an anti aircraft gun. The right sketch is a plane that is drawn to look like it's flying or crashing.
