Three-quarters of a century after he was killed during the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the remains of a young Navy sailor finally are heading home to Kansas. Wagoner was aboard the USS Oklahoma when that battleship, along with other U.S. warships, was doomed by torpedoes while helplessly moored in Pearl Harbor. Her husband — Merle Wagoner, a Navy veteran of the Korean War — died three years ago at the age of 79. All told, more than 2,400 sailors, Marines and soldiers died in the Pearl Harbor attack that sank or damaged 21 U.S. vessels. The friend survived and since has died; Wagoner was "not a good swimmer" and was never seen alive again, Guinn said.
