Nearly 81 years since the day that lives in infamy, a sailor from Ventura, California, has officially been accounted for.
The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency announced on Wednesday, Aug. 17, that the remains of Navy Shipfitter 2nd Class Claude R. Garcia, who was killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, were officially identified on May 12, 2022. The agency waited until it briefed Garcia's family on his identification, which happened recently, before making the announcement public.
The USS West Virginia came to a rest on the shallow harbor floor. The Japanese attack killed 106 of the ship's crewmen, including Garcia, the release says. The DPAA's mission to identify the crew members of the USS West Virginia dates back to June 2017. The agency worked with cemetery officials to disinter 35 caskets connected to the ship from the Punchbowl; those remains were transferred to the DPAA's laboratory for analysis.
