Remembering the USS OklahomaThroughout this week we have been highlighting artifacts from the USS Arizona, one the battleships attacked in Pearl Harbor 75 years ago. Today, we would like honor the sacrifice of those who perished from the attack on the USS Oklahoma, which also took place at Pearl Harbor. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) has been working hard in our St. Louis facility to gather information that will help identify service persons’ remains found at the burial site of the USS Oklahoma, many of whom died during the Pearl Harbor attack. Our preservation and archives staff work hard to make these records accessible to DPAA, as these records were affected by the 1973 fire, and require special treatment. -- source link
