Navy concerned about exhumation plans in Hawaii (Pearl Harbor Attack KIA's)

1. I am retired USN, but I agree with JPAC. It should be done, it can be done respectfully, and it

will provide closure for at least some people who are left wondering. SECNAV should rethink and get with the program.

We didn't have the DNA identification available back then. A lot of people "know" that their loved one died in that attack, but many people take comfort from knowing about a final resting place.

For people who need, want or appreciate that kind of certainty, it's a good thing to do. It kind of goes with our standard, too, when it comes to military remains.
