The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office on Friday helped transfer a Pearl Harbor veteran's remains home to Wisconsin nearly 80 years since the World War II attack that killed more than 2,400 people.
Conolly, "along with 428 other crewmen of the USS Oklahoma, was killed when the ship was attacked by Japanese aircraft at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, on Dec. 7, 1941," the sheriff's office said in a Friday statement posted to Facebook.
A number of World War II veterans' remains have been sent back home as the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency works to identify bones through forensic testing.
