SOMERSET, Ky. — The remains of a sailor from Kentucky who died in the World War II attack on Pearl Harbor have been identified, officials said.
Authorities used DNA as well as dental and anthropological analysis to identify Navy Seaman 2nd Class Floyd D. Helton, 18, of Somerset, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency said Wednesday in a statement.Helton was assigned to the battleship USS Oklahoma when it was attacked by Japanese aircraft on Dec. 7, 1941, and capsized, resulting in 429 deaths.
A majority of the remains recovered from the ship weren’t identified and were buried in 1949 in 46 plots at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. Officials began exhuming the remains in 2015 in an effort to identify them.
Never give up!!
Interestingly all the capital ships in Pearl Harbour on 07/Dec/1941 were between 20 & 30 years old, all the battleships were of the dreadnaught era & obsolete. It’s almost as if they were sacrificed by command.
Colonel sanders?

How Chanel's Fragrance Has Stayed Iconic for 100 YearsThe most famous scent in the world has been around for a century and remains one of the most mysterious. It's a sweet white floral perfume that any woman can wear. It stays close to the skin, it's a light perfume. And because of Coco herself and Marilyn Monroe, of course Chanel 5? Too old school for me. Suitable for people born in 30s/40s, imo The bottle design is nice, though
