I was humbled as this happened. The city asked if I would hover over the road and video the honor gaurd bringing the sailor home. The video is slowed down to 48% so that it would fit with the audio. Navy Seaman 2nd Class Dale Pearce is finally home. The Kansas farm boy from Labette County was serving on the USS Oklahoma the morning of Dec. 7, 1941. The ship received multiple torpedo hits when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. It capsized within minutes, taking more than 400 men to their deaths, including Pearce. Now, nearly 75 years after the attack, Pearce’s remains to be buried Thursday, next to his mother in his hometown cemetery.
