The remains of Navy Boilermaker 1st Class William E. Blanchard who was killed at Pearl Harbor while serving on the USS Oklahoma, were identified through DNA testing conducted by an agency within the U.S. Department of Defense, the Idaho Statesman reported Wednesday.
Blanchard was 24 when he was aboard the warship, which was struck by multiple torpedoes and capsized.
Kudos to DOD casualty DNA research for identifying the remains of Navy Boilermaker 1st Class William E. Blanchard.
Thank you my friend Maj Marty Hogan for mentioning me.
