Attendees listen to remarks during an honorable carry ceremony held on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, June 24, 2021. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) hosted the two honorable carry ceremonies to return the remains and pay tribute to the 429 Sailors and Marines lost aboard the U.S.S. Oklahoma during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. These ceremonies will be held in Lincoln, Nebraska and on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii. Remains are being returned from the DPAA Laboratory in Offutt AFB, Nebraska to Hawaii as the U.S.S. Oklahoma Project nears completion. The Honorable Carry celebrates the successes of the project, highlighting the joint effort among DPAA, the U.S. Navy, and mission partners, while honoring the Sailors and Marines of the USS Oklahoma. The identification of more than 338 of the 394 sailors and Marines that were missing in 2003, to date, from the U.S.S. Oklahoma represents the first successful completion of a project of such scope and complexity. DPAA’s Mission is to achieve the fullest possible accounting for missing and unaccounted-for U.S. personnel to their families and our nation. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Rusty Frank)
