A sailor who was killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor was laid to rest Wednesday in San Diego, exactly 81 years after the attack.  Daniel Harris was buried at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery.  Harris was chief fire controlman aboard the USS Oklahoma when Japanese aircraft attacked the Navy base in Hawaii. The battleship was hit by torpedoes and capsized. Harris was among 429 crewmen who died.  His remains were recovered after the attack but weren’t identified and he was interred as an unknown at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii.  He was finally identified in 2019.
