Remains of Pearl Harbor victims raised for identification

salutes

To who? The American PH victims remains (being raised for ID) or the Kamikazes fighter pilots who sealed their fate?

The way you sport that, "Godly Wind" headband makes me scratch my head & wonder where ur loyalties lay son.

One has to wonder why this was not done long ago. DNA testing has been around for a while and the U.S. military machine has money spilling out of its pockets.

No kamikaze were involved in the attack on pearl Harbor.

I have maid service once a week and the young ladies never heard of Pearl Harbor. I have a 1/200 scale model of the USS Arizona and they were clueless. As for why it has not been done before, well it is the government. They take forever even to do simple things. I hope they are able to ID all of them but it has been 74 years. Not all people have descendants and so many of them were so young.

If they're Japanese (most maid-service ladies here are Thai or Chinese nowadays), the sad reason she's accepting to work as a maid for your is most probably because she's lacking the educations that would afford her better jobs. Therefore is no wonder a young maid-service lady has never heard of something happening 70 years ago.

On the other hand all Japanese people I know have heard of Pearl Harbor, the imperial army's atrocities and the war outcome. Maid-service persons are definitely not representative of the entire Japanese populations.

ebisen I live in America and they are American women. They do not know about Pearl Harbor or the ship that was named after their state. The Americans no longer teach it in their schools. I still wonder if it is worth the expense of trying to get positive ID. I also wonder why now? More it will be very difficult due to the condition of the bodies. It will soon be 74 years and they were in the water a long time before the ship was turned upright and then put in dry dock.
