Leslie Delles, of St. Charles, was 21 years old when he was killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Nearly 80 years later, Delles' remains have been identified by the use of DNA technology, and in October of this year, he'll receive a formal burial in California, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. At the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Delles was an Electrician's Mate 3rd Class aboard the USS Oklahoma. In doing a little research on the USS Oklahoma, I found out that the ship was hit by multiple torpedoes, causing it to capsize, resulting in the deaths of 429 crew members.
