From the November 2, 2022, Stars and Stripes "Service members recently identified from past conflicts include trio killed at Pearl Harbor."
At least five service members were accounted for last month by the Defense Department agency tasked with recovering U.S. troops listed as missing in action or prisoners of war.
Three of those identified by the Hawaii-based Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) were killed at Pearl Harbor in World War II and two fought in Korea.
All three Pearl Harbor men were on Battleship Row on December 7, 1941.
Edward Conway, an electrician's mate from Auburn, Illinois, was on the USS Oklahoma. His remains were identified on October 1.
Floyd Clifford was a machinist mate from Mulvane, Kansas, who also was killed on the Oklahoma.
Keith Tipsword, a machinist mate from Moccasin, Illinois, was on board the battleship USS West Virginia.
Their remains were identified July 12 and Septrmber 27, respectively.
I will have the two from Korea in my Cooter's History Thing blog today.
