Illinois Sailor killed in Pearl Harbor attack accounted for The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced today that Navy Fireman 1 st Class Robert J. Harr, 25, of Dallas City, Illinois, killed during World War II, was accounted for on Feb. 12, 2021. On Dec. 7, 1941, Harr was assigned to the battleship USS  Oklahoma, which was moored at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, when the ship was attacked by Japanese aircraft. The USS  Oklahoma sustained multiple torpedo hits, which caused it to quickly capsize. The attack on the ship resulted in the deaths of 429 crewmen, including Harr.  From December 1941 to June 1944, Navy personnel recovered the remains of the deceased crew, which were subsequently interred in the Halawa and Nu’uanu Cemeteries.
