8 decades later, remains of a Virginia sailor killed in Pearl Harbor are identified

David Walker, a sailor killed in the WWII attack on Pearl Harbor, is memorialized at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu. Soon, a rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate that he has been accounted for.

David Walker from Norfolk, Va., was 19 years old when Japanese torpedoes sunk his battleship, the USS California, during the surprise attack on the Hawaii naval base in 1941.
