Unknown since 1941 when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, seven fallen sailors from the USS Oklahoma have been identified.

The identification comes after the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency dug up the remains of 400 “unknown” USS Oklahoma sailors and Marines from a veterans cemetery in Honolulu in June. They were able to be identified using dental records.
The names have not yet been released as the families of the fallen are still being notified.
The process has continued this week as 61 more caskets from the Oklahoma were exhumed.
God bless these brave men and all those POW/MIA.
