A Michigan sailor who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor was laid to rest on Friday at the Fairview Memorial Park in Albuquerque with full military honors. “We will continue this effort until every single service member is identified and brought back so we’ll leave nobody behind,” said Rear Admiral Michael Van Poots with the Undersea Warfighting Development Center.
