SEPA 11/7 Dignified Transfer US NAVY
Warriors' Watch was advised of this event and asked to take part with a flag line at the airport and escort to a funeral home close to the airport. This hero has no family. We will be his family...
On March 3, 2021, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) identified the remains of Radioman Third Class Charles Andrew Montgomery, missing from World War II.
Radioman Third Class Montgomery entered the U.S. Navy from Pennsylvania. He was a crew member aboard the USS Oklahoma (BB-37) on December 7, 1941, when the ship came under attack from Japanese forces at Pearl Harbor. The Oklahoma capsized in the attack, and RM3 Montgomery was killed in the incident. His remains were eventually recovered from the vessel; however, they could not be identified at the time and were buried as unknown remains at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (NMCP) in Honolulu, Hawaii. In 2015, the DPAA received authorization to exhume unknown remains associated with the Oklahoma and reexamine them using advances in forensic technology. RM3 Montgomery's remains were exhumed and accessioned into the DPAA laboratory as part of this effort, where they were eventually identified.
Please share this memorable event with your friends and give this hero a homecoming that he will see from heaven.
