Through the help of modern technology that helped identify a Navy sailor who died in the attack of Pearl Harbor, the remains of Seaman 2nd Class Denver True “D.T.” Kyser finally were laid to rest Saturday afternoon at Fresno Memorial Gardens.
Kyser was from Oklahoma. But with his remaining family all having long moved to California, a military service ended up being held in Fresno.
Kyser was 18 at the time and serving on the battleship USS Oklahoma when Japanese aircraft on attacked Ford Island, Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
The USS Oklahoma sustained multiple torpedo hits and quickly capsized, resulting in the deaths of 429 crewmen, according to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA).
The attack launched the United States into World War II.
From December 1941 to June 1944, Navy personnel recovered the remains of the deceased crew.
Recently, Kyser’s remains were exhumed and identified using his DNA and modern forensic techonology.
According to the Navy, Kyser’s name is recorded on the Walls of the Missing at the Punchbowl on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, along with the others who are missing from WWII. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for.

NEW YORK (AP) — New Yorkers are casting votes in a governor’s race Tuesday that for the first time in a decade does not include the name “Cuomo” at the top of the ticket. Instead, the most prominent name for Democrats is Kathy Hochul, who was propelled into the governor’s office last year when former Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigned amid sexual harassment allegations. Hochul is hoping to become the first woman to win election to the New York governor’s office this fall, but first she needs to overcome
That has basically been the strategy for commodity hedge funds for the last couple of years, but it is fast losing its luster. Crude oil, industrial metals and a range of agricultural commodities are down significantly from their peaks earlier this year - in some cases by up to 50% - as rising interest rates increase the likelihood of U.S. and global recession. For all that hedge funds are supposed to be quick-thinking, nimble operators with the freedom and flexibility to go short as well as long - they are the smartest guys in the room, after all - the reality is rather different.
