Excerpt from article in the Duluth News Tribune December 7, 2018:
"On Dec. 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese. Virginia resident Dante Sylvester Tini was 19 years old and serving as a radioman on the USS Oklahoma when torpedoes ripped through the hull of the ship.
It wasn't until Dec. 20, 1941 that Tini's mother and father received a telegram saying he was missing in action, and the whole neighborhood could hear his mother scream.
Tini had been scheduled to go on leave Dec. 10 and then he was going to be reassigned. Tragically, Tini and 428 other sailors perished that day. Now 77 years later, Tini's remains will return home to his family in Virginia."
