Modern DNA analyses confirmed the identity of Stanley Galaszewski, a U.S. Navy sailor killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.
A United States Navy sailor who was killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II has been identified, more than 80 years after his death, officials announced this week. Navy Seaman 2nd Class Stanley C. Galaszewski, 29, originally from Steubenville, Ohio, was killed on Dec.
Crew members from the USS California abandon their burning ship after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. December 7, 1941.More than 100 officers and crew members were killed in action while on board the USS California during the Pearl Harbor attack, including Galaszewski. However, his remains were not among those recovered by U.S. Navy personnel between December 1941 and April of the following year, which were interred in the Halawa and Nu'uanu military cemeteries.
After the war had ended, U.S. military crews again attempted to recover and properly identify remains of those service members who died in the Pacific, according to DPAA. At the time, the American Graves Registration Service disinterred the remains of U.S. personnel from the Halawa and Nu'uanu cemeteries and transferred them to a laboratory, which confirmed the identities of 39 men from the USS California.
Galaszewski's remains were in that non-recoverable group, but modern DNA testing finally allowed officials to identify them decades after the fact, as all 25 sets of remains were exhumed in 2018 and re-analyzed. DPAA scientists partnered with scientists from the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System to identify the remains using mitochondrial DNA, Y chromosome DNA and autosomal DNA analyses, the agency said.
Galaszewski's name is now recorded on the"Walls of the Missing" at the Punchbowl memorial site, along with others still missing from World War II, and a rosette will be placed beside his name to mark that he has been accounted for. Galaszewski will be buried on Nov. 3 in Steubenville, Ohio.
