Sailors assigned to Navy Region Hawaii conduct a funeral for U.S. Navy Watertender 1st Class Edwin McCabe at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Honolulu, Hawaii, Sept. 25 2019. More than 400 U.S. service members attended McCabe’s funeral. McCabe was assigned to the USS Oklahoma which sustained fire from Japanese aircraft and multiple torpedo hits causing the ship to capsize and resulted in the deaths of over 400 crew members on Dec. 7, 1941, at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor. McCabe was recently identified through DNA analysis by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency’s (DPAA) forensic laboratory and returned to his family for burial with full military hours. DPAA’s mission is to provide the fullest possible accounting of our missing personnel to their families and the nation. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Mitchell Ryan)
