Today is Veterans Day. And there can be no way of honoring the day than the identification of a veteran's remains MIA all these years.
The 11th post on this blog on the 11th day.
From the November 10, 2021, Greater Long Island.com (New York) "Navy sailor killed at Pearl Harbor to be buried at Patchogue on Dec. 7 after 80 years" by Ana Borruto.
U.S. Navy Fireman 3rd Class Kenneth L. Jayne was identified on April 16, 2016, by the defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) after being missing all those years since Pearl Harbor.
There will be a burial event at Cedar Grove Cemetery on December 4.
He was born in Patchogue on August 15, 1915 and entered the Navy at age 26, serving on the USS Oklahoma.
Jayne and 428 crewmembers died that day.
A Big Thank You to the Government for Identifying These Men. --GreGen
