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.

Another USS Oklahoma Sailor Identified: Jesus Garcia

From the October 6, 2021 California News Times

Navy Steward's Mate  2nd Class, Jesus Garcia was buried in Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego in a morning ceremony.

He was from Guam and only 21 years of age when he died December 7, 1941, at Pearl Harbor while on board the USS Oklahoma.

The majority of his family still lives in Guam, but he has relatives in San Diego.

His remains were identified through the efforts of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA).
