From the October 19, 2021, Channel 12 NBC, Portsmouth, Virginia.
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) has announced that a Virginia sailor from Virginia, Navy Ship's Cook 1st Class Rodger Butts, 47, of Portsmouth, Virginia, has been identified.
He was serving on the USS Oklahoma in Pearl Harbor when it was attacked December 7, 1941.
He will be buried in Newtown, Pennsylvania at a future date.
Both he and the USS Oklahoma sailor I will write about next, Octavius Mabine, were from Portsmouth, Virginia and both had jobs in the ship's kitchen.
