"Decades Later: Virginia Sailor's Remains from Pearl Harbor Attack Identified"
After more than 80 years, DNA analysis has helped identify the remains of 19-year-old sailor David Walker, who was killed in the Pearl Harbor attack while serving on the USS California. His body was exhumed in 2018 and identified using anthropological, dental analysis, and mitochondrial DNA analysis. Walker, a former student at I.C. Norcom High School in Virginia, will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery in September, and a rosette will be placed next to his name at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
