Sailor Who Died at Pearl Harbor Finally Identified

On December 7, 1941 -- 83 years ago today -- US Navy Seaman Second Class John C. Auld died in battle while serving on the USS Oklahoma. He was one of 2,403 American servicemen who fell that day.

CBS News reports that, three years later, the Navy was able to recover bodies of many of the fallen sailors from the Oklahoma. In 2015, the Department of Defense studied DNA from the sailors' bodies to determine their identities. Now it has notified the family of Auld that they have identified his specific remains. These were interred yesterday in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here is his obituary.
