The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

From the September 19, 2022, Charlottesville (Va) CBS 19 News "Sailor who died at Pearl Harbor buried at Arlington" AP.

The remains of a sailor from Massachusetts who died December 7, 1941, on board the battleship USS Oklahoma were buried at Arlington National Cemetery on Monday, September 19.

The internment comes 80 years and nearly 4 years after the  Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency identified his remains.

He was Electrician's Mate 3rd Class Roman W. Sadlowski, 21,  of Pittsfield. Massachusetts.

About fifteen members of his family from Massachusetts,  Texas and Florida attended the ceremony.
