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.
I believe the families had closure, and lived in peace that their loved one was not alone but was in peace, in the company of heroes whom they must have loved.
Arlington Cemetery itself could offer no more gallant field in which to lie in repose than the sacred waters of Pearl Harbor.
its called respect.....its called tribute.....we should honor in all ways possible our sailors and soldiers who were killed by our enemies....even if its a token gesture, it says something about OUR country even now....that we have a sliver of decency left...
