Working to identify the "Unknown Soldier" of Pearl Harbor Day" (Hawaii 2015)

from Wash. Post article :
December 7 is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor –> “After 74 years, bones from tomb ship may be identified,” by Michael E. Ruane: “Legs, arms, ribs, vertebrae. Some have blue tags tied with string, identifying the type of bone. Some have beige tags, indicating that experts also want samples for DNA testing. They are the unidentified remains of hundreds of sailors and Marines who perished 74 years ago Monday, when Japan launched a surprise air attack on Hawaii and plunged the United States into World War II. Now, seven decades later, the government is trying to put names to the old salts and teenage sailors who died when their ship was sunk by enemy torpedoes Sunday morning, Dec. 7, 1941. … After the remains were exhumed recently, they were cleaned and photographed, and most of them were flown to the DPAA lab in Nebraska for further analysis. …Thus far, the DPAA has made seven identifications, a spokeswoman said last week. But officials are still reaching out to family members, and no identifications have been publicly announced.”
