It took more than 80 years, but Radioman Third Class Frank Hoag received his long-awaited welcome home at Tahoma National Cemetery inHoag, who was killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor, was among the hundreds of service members recently identified by naval scientists using DNA testing. His remains were among the last sailors identified, thanks to his family.Melary’s mother had talked about wanting closure surrounding Hoag’s death for decades.
That individual and his DNA sample, painted a picture for researchers and unlocked the mystery of which remains were those of Hoag. Previous DNA samples, linked to maternal lineage, were too similar to other soldiers to eliminate other matches. The single photo she’s had of him shows him on a beach, meaning her lone keepsake of her long-lost relative was taken one day before his death.The ceremony was small. Melary was joined by her husband, a few veterans, and the men and women who work at the National Cemetery to ensure that no veteran’s memory is lost.
Though Hoag wasn’t surrounded by cousins, brothers, sister and friends, in the end, Melary said she was certain his parents were looking down from above, proud that he’d made his journey home to Washington State.
