Produced by Jim Ruddy and presented by the Shell Companies Foundation and the Texas Committee for the Humanities, The Texas Experience presents the history of Texas through a series of one-minute clips. Each clip features a celebrity narrator briefly exploring a specific aspect of Texas history or culture, with topics ranging from early women settlers to Buddy Holly's short but influential career. In this episode, Tom Landry, legendary football coach of the Dallas Cowboys, tells the story of Navy Messman Doris 'Dorie' Miller's heroic actions during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

THANK YOU FOR THIS! The community of Corona East Elmhurst in Queens, NYC is very familiar with The Dorie Miller Story. We are home to the first interracial cooperative housing development, built in 1953, that bears the name of Dorie Miller.

As a Plankowner, I am a proud member of the commissioning crew of the USS Miller in 1973. Tom Landry is also a WW11 hero. Look forward to attending the opening ceremony of the memorial. Some of the other crew members also want to attend.
