You know things like that. So I pulled the cover off the rest of the way and about that time another torpedo plane go by. Then I saw a big red ball and I realized the Japanese were attacking Pearl Harbor." BY THE END OF THE ATTACK - 2,400 AMERICAN WERE DEAD -- MORE THAN ONE QUARTER WERE UNIDENTIFIED.THE UNKNOWN ARE BURIED AT THE NATIONAL CEMETERY OF THE PACIFIC -- IN A VOLCANIC CRATER KNOWN CALLED "PUNCHBOWL".RAY EMORY FIRST LEARNED OF THESE GRAVES DURING A TRIP TO THE CEMETERY SHORTLY BEFORE THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ATTACK.THIS YEAR - THE 91-YEAR OLD BEING HONORED BY THE NAVY AND NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FOR HIS WORK TO IDENTIFY THE UNKNOWN SINCE THAT VISIT.SOUNDBITE: Daniel Martinez/National Park Service historian"He's devoted to the idea of the accuracy of all the casualties, where these casualties are buried, not only at Punchbowl, but at other cemeteries.USING THE NAVY'S BURIAL RECORDS FROM ARCHIVES IN WASHINGTON - HE DETERMINED WHICH SHIPS THE DEAD IN EACH GRAVE WERE FROM. GRAVESTONES NOW SHOW MARKERS FOR THE U-S-S ARIZONA, U-S-S OKLAHOMA, AND U-S-S WEST VIRGINIA.EMORY HAS ALSO LOBBIED FOR FORENSIC SCIENTISTS TO EXHUME THE SKELETONS OF THOSE WHO MIGHT BE IDENTIFIED. SOUNDBITE: Ray Emory/Pearl Harbor Survivor:It's just something I got involved with that was very, very interesting. And probably, in spite of trying to tell the government they screwed up maybe a little bit here and there, we've been able to solve some of the mysteries, maybe, of World War II.SO FAR - EMORY HAS PUSHED THE GOVERNMENT INTO RELABELING MORE THAN 300 GRAVESTONES WITH THE SHIP NAMES OF THE DECEASED.ALL IN HIS EFFORT TO HAVE PEARL HARBOR REMEMBERED - AND REMEMBERED ACCURATELY.
