Description
An Aberdeen man who was killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor was finally laid to rest in his home state over 80 years later.
Radioman 3rd class Frank Hoag Jr. was buried at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent. He served aboard the battleship U.S.S. Oklahoma. His remains were identified as part of Operation Oklahoma, which was started to bring closure to deceased military members' families.
