From March 11, 2024, WAFF 48 (Alabama) "Remains of WW II veteran from Rogersville identified."
Navy Seaman 2nd Class Cecil Thornton was accounted for in April 2019 but his family only received the news. He was aboard the USS Oklahoma on the day of the attack which left 429 crewmen dead. He was one of them.
He was from Rogersville, Alabama, and that is where he will be buried.
