'It's the end of a journey,' said James Brown, 80, one of the nephews. 'We couldn't be happier.' After the Pearl Harbor attack, Middleswart was officially listed as missing and presumed dead, his remains 'non-recoverable.' His parents were sent an American flag and a Purple Heart to honor him. But not having a grave with his name on it, not having a place to mourn him, weighed on them the rest of their lives, according to family members. His sister, Lauretta Brown, named one of her sons after him. Two of her other children, James Brown and Edward Brown, joined the Marines because of their uncle. 'We were always hoping one day they would identify him and bring him home,' James Brown said. For nearly eight decades the remains of soldiers have been kept in unmarked graves (seen below), but a breakthrough in DNA technology means families bereaved by the tragedy finally get closure. Only 35 of the 429 sailors and Marines aboard the Oklahoma who died were identified after the attack. The rest of the bodies remained on the ship until it was salvaged at the end of the war. They were then buried in mass graves in Hawaii in the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. But in 2015, the Defense Department ordered the bodies to be exhumed and new DNA technology used to try and identify them and reunite them with their families.

Pfc. John Franklin Middleswart was killed along with more than 400 other Marines and Navy sailors aboard the battleship Oklahoma in a surprise attack by the Japanese that led the U.S. into World War II. He was identified through mitochondrial DNA, extracted from Middleswart's bones and compared to DNA from his sister and two of his nephews. The family was notified of the match in February.

Eighty years after he died in the attack on Pearl Harbor and just months after his remains were finally identified, a California Marine has been laid to rest with full military honors. About 50 people attended the ceremony on Tuesday for Pfc. John Franklin Middleswart at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in his hometown of San Diego. Marines in dress blues fired a three-volley rifle salute. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9673461/Marine-killed-Pearl-Harbor-laid-rest-California.html Lalasticlala

A recent test showed Al’s car had significant damage to the ball joint of the suspension arms. He told Plymouth Live: ‘I asked the manager down there for the workshop, and he said it had likely been caused by driving over potholes regularly. ‘It’s absolutely ridiculous, we’ve been on to them for the past four years about it. We’ve filled in about five forms, rung them a number of times, and all we get is “oh the road’s fine”. ‘We sent them (the council) the MOT bill in the last complaint but we haven’t had anything back from them yet. I highlighted on the bill the repairs I’d been told were likely caused by the potholes. It all just falls on deaf ears. ‘Over four years we’ve been on to them about it, and they’ve partially filled some in once, and then now they’re even worse. ‘It needs the whole stretch redoing, especially with the amount of traffic that comes down here now. It’s just constant.’ https://metro.co.uk/2021/05/25/driver-sick-of-potholes-sends-council-300-bill-to-fix-his-car-14643725/

A man who had to pay £300 to fix his car sent the bill to his council after finding out some of the damage was probably caused by potholes. Al Mitchell slammed Plymouth City Council for ‘ignoring’ his pleas to fix the streets near his home, which he says are riddled with holes. Eventually Al got so fed up, he sent them the bill for restoring his car. Photos of the surface of the road show several potholes, some that appear to have been patched up previously. The road appears loose, and there is damage to the road markings and lines on the street. https://metro.co.uk/2021/05/25/driver-sick-of-potholes-sends-council-300-bill-to-fix-his-car-14643725/
