Can you imagine the families of Sailors and Marines having to endure the label of "missing in action" for 75 years rather than having closure on the heroes who were aboard the U.S.S. Oklahoma Battleship on the "Day of Infamy"? The Arizona gets most of the publicity but when the Ok's dead were finally recovered only about 35 could be identified and the rest were buried as "unknown". Last summer the remains were exhumed and subjected to DNA tests which finally put them to rest properly identified.
