James Mehail presents the National Ensign to Joe Bitner, great nephew and next of kin of U.S. Navy Seaman 2nd Class Wilbur Clayton Barrett, a Sailor killed in the attacks on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 aboard the USS Oklahoma, during military funeral honors held in Barrett's hometown of El Dorado, Kansas.
