Julian B. Jordan

On December 7, 1941, the battleship USS Oklahoma was moored at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor when attacked by Japanese forces. After receiving multiple torpedo hits, the USS Oklahoma capsized. He was one of 429 sailors and Marines lost on that day. His remains were among 393 Pearl Harbor casualties which were unidentifiable and buried at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific as Unknowns. In 2015, the Department of Defense authorized the disinterment of Unknowns of the USS Oklahoma buried at the cemetery. By use of modern day forensic science, LT Jordan's remains were identified. His name is permanently inscribed at the WWII Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
