Summary

The U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard, The U.S. Navy Band, and The 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) Caisson Platoon participate in the full honors funeral of U.S. Navy Radioman 3rd Class Howard Bean in Section 60 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, Dec. 6, 2017. Bean, along with 429 crewmen aboard the USS Oklahoma, was killed in the early morning hours of the attack on Pearl Harbor after the ship quickly capsized from numerous torpedo hits, Dec. 7, 1941. Nearly 400 of these sailors, including Bean, were unidentified after the attack and were buried in 46 plots at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, also known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu, Hawaii. In 2015, as part of the USS Oklahoma Project, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), through a partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs, exhumed all of the unknown remains from the USS Oklahoma, and began the lengthy process of identifying the remains. Bean was the 100th identification from the ship’s causalties made by DPAA since 2015.

The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
