BLOOMINGTON, MINN. – A World War II sailor killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor is returning to Minnesota Thursday.
Navy Seaman 2nd Class Lloyd Timm of Kellogg was among the 429 sailors aboard the U-S-S Oklahoma who died on December 7th, 1941.
Timm will receive plane side military honors when his remains arrive at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Timm’s remains were unidentified for nearly 80 years at the National Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Scientists from the Defense P-O-W/M-I-A Accounting Agency and Armed Forces Medical Examiner used dental and anthropological analysis to identify his remains in June of 2015.
Timm’s funeral is Monday in his hometown of Kellogg.
