Why now? Why not let them rest in peace?

The attacked happened at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. But many bodies weren’t removed until months later ...
A hell of a book ...

Disinterment ceremonies were held when the bones of Korean War veterans were exhumed for identification.

...

I read that the unknown soldier from the Vietnam war was recently identified, removed and placed in his own grave.

I think they will have to try and Exhume the 900 Sailors and Marines that are still in the U.S.S. Arizona because the Ship it’s self will eventually rust away.

Mixed feelings about this. While, it might be appropriate to identify the remains so families can have closure and couldbreinter the remains in other places, it isn’t that the families likely didn’t know the whereabouts of their loved ones decades ago. Maybe it might be best to let them rest in peace with their shipmates.

My understanding garnered from the article is that the remains of our Soldiers, Marines, and Sailors that were on the Oklahoma were removed from the ship and buried in caskets on land. If this is what happened, I have no issue with identifying the remains, and hopefully given full military honors burial.

If they are interred on the ship, I think they should be allowed to remain there, undisturbed.

How can we, as a country, waste our energy on this endeavor? I thought United States of America’s top priority was transgenderism.

Waste of time, money and misplaced effort.

The 388 persons that were among the dead are long gone. If we are to believe our Creator, the real person is the immaterial soul, long since departed. What remains is a tent that was used to house the soul. It is worthless and isn't the person in the first place.
