AKELEY, MN Closure was a long time coming for Orville Staffenhagen and his family. But the 88-year-old Minnesota man now finally knows for sure his brother, Neal Todd, was among the more than 2,400 Americans killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
Uniformed military members, firefighters and Todd s relatives were among the sea of people awaiting Todd s remains as it arrived at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport last week, KARE and others have reported. It wasn t until earlier this year that it was confirmed that Todd, a Navy fireman first class, died while aboard the USS Oklahoma during the Pearl Harbor attack.
