    ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY (Dec. 21, 2023) U.S. Navy officers lead a hearse-led caisson holding the remains of Medal of Honor recipient Seaman 1st Class James Richard Ward at Arlington National Cemetery, Dec. 21, 2023. Ward was awarded the Medal of Honor, posthumously, in 1942 for his acts of valor during the attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7, 1941. In 2003, the USS Oklahoma Project set out to identify the Sailors' remains that were lost with the Nevada-class battleship. On Feb. 22, 2022, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced that it had positively identified Ward’s remains on Aug. 19, 2021.
