Ensign Eldon Wyman of Portland, Oregon graduated from Grant High School. He appeared as vivid as the October sky. Head cocked and smiling. As though Portland was the same. And he was the same. As though nearly 67 years had not passed without him. Six decades after he died in the attack on Pearl Harbor, Wyman was interred with full military honors at Wilhelm's Portland Memorial Sunset Chapel. Nearly 50 people attended the service and more than 100, including Pearl Harbor survivors, Patriot Guard and family from Puget Sound. Wyman had been buried in an unknown's grave at Punchbowl National Cemetery in Hawaii until he was identified in August through his sister's DNA. He was the son of Lilly P and Paul H Wyman.
