USS Oklahoma Sailor Accounted For
From World War II (Garcia, J.) WASHINGTON – The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced today that Navy Steward’s Mate 2nd Class Jesus F. Garcia, 21, of Agana, Guam, killed during World War II, was accounted for on Sept. 25, 2018. On Dec. 7, 1941, Garcia was assigned to the battleship USS Oklahoma, which was moored at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, when the ship was attacked by Japanese aircraft. The USS Oklahoma sustained multiple torpedo hits, which caused it to quickly capsize. The attack on the ship resulted in the deaths of 429 crewmen, including Garcia. From December 1941 to June 1944, Navy personnel recovered the remains of the deceased crew, which were subsequently interred in the Halawa and Nu’uanu Cemeteries. In September 1947, tasked with recovering and identifying fallen U.S. personnel in the Pacific Theater, members of the American Graves Registration Service (AGRS) disinterred the remains of U.S. casualties from the two cemeteries and transferred them to the Central Identification Laboratory at Schofield Barracks. The laboratory staff was only able to confirm the identifications of 35 men from the USS Oklahoma at that time. The AGRS subsequently buried the unidentified remains in 46 plots at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (NMCP), known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu. In October 1949, a military board classified those who could not be identified as non-recoverable, including Garcia. Between June and November 2015, DPAA personnel exhumed the USS Oklahoma Unknowns from the Punchbowl for analysis. To identify Garcia’s remains, scientists from DPAA used anthropological analysis, as well as material and circumstantial evidence. Garcia’s name is recorded on the Courts of the Missing at the Punchbowl, along with the others who are still missing from WWII. A rosette will be placed next to his name to indicate he has been accounted for. DPAA is grateful to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of the Navy for their partnership in this mission. Garcia will be buried Oct. 6, 2021, in San Diego. For family and funeral information, contact the Navy Casualty office at (800) 443-9298.

Here is a link to a video featured on News station KUSI San Diego https://www.kusi.com/san-diego-veterans-return-home-from-honor-flight-to-crowd-of-hundreds/ Honor Flight San Diego Our Mission Honor Flight San Diego (HFSD) is a non-profit branch of the nationwide Honor Flight Network which consists of over 130 independent “hubs” across America. HFSD escorts veterans to Washington, D.C. to see their memorials using monies donated by individuals, foundations, associations, business owners and corporations who wish to recognize our veterans’ contributions and thank them for their service and sacrifice to the United States and its citizens. Top priority for our trips is given to the most senior veterans, currently World War II and Korea War veterans, and to veterans who have terminal illnesses. Of all of the wars in recent memory, World War II truly threatened our very existence as a nation and as a culturally diverse and free society. With hundreds of World War II veterans passing away each day, the opportunity to express our sincere thanks to these brave men and women is running out. Our Korea War veterans were called to serve just five short years after our WWII veterans in what is called “The Forgotten War.” The time for honoring these men and women is growing short as well. We say thank you to all of our veterans and extend a special thanks to our most senior veterans for their dedication and commitment to protecting the freedoms enjoyed by so many here in the greatest nation on earth, the United States of America. We invite our veterans to join us on your “Tour of Honor” and we hope everyone else can provide a donation that will help support these memorable trips. Sincerely, David A. Smith Founder, Honor Flight San Diego |

Council Meeting measures during the new Covid Delta Variant surge
Worthy Brothers,
In an effort to support our continued ability to conduct in-person meetings, we will have complementary digital thermometer checks at the entrance of the DeMoor Room to ensure that we are taking precautions as recommended the CDC and California‘s Department of Health to reduce the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19.
Additionally, Bishop McElroy and the Catholic Diocese of San Diego and Fr. Devdas are encouraging all parishioners to wear a mask while indoors (even those fully vaccinated - as an act of charity). This is not mandatory, but offered out of respect and in support of our brothers and their family members who may be immunocompromised.
We will keep doors open and space chairs at least 3 ft apart during our future meetings as mitigating measures. If you are symptomatic, please stay home and rest. We will attempt to have a Zoom link available (depending on wifi reliability) and conduct a hybrid meeting to support those not able to attend, but I would rather risk not meeting a quorum than risking someone’s health!
Thank you for your understanding on this matter and I look forward to seeing you all at the general business meeting August 19, 2021@7:00 pm.
Vivat Jesus!

Council Dues Policy Update; Attention all members
Worthy Brothers,
As a nonprofit charitable organization, the primary means of funding our operations are through the payment of annual dues. In a time of uncertainty on our ability to raise funds due to lingering COVID mitigation’s, honoring your commitment and paying your dues is more critical today more than it has ever been.
In accordance with council by-laws, members who are not current on their dues DO NOT have the right to attend council meetings OR vote on council issues.
This has been the standard for years, but has been loosely enforced. It is time to honor our commitment to the council and regain good standing by paying any outstanding balances.
Enforcement of this policy is effective immediately.
If you have had a financial hardship or illness that prevented you from having the ability to pay dues, please provide a short statement and justification to our Worthy Financial Secretary Gary Glenn for potential debt forgiveness, if qualified. FS Gary Glenn/s email address is garyg@gaent.com
*Non current members will not be able to attend our upcoming business meeting. Members shall have membership cards with them at all future meetings.
Thank you for all that you do for the council and the community! Let’s get back on track and continue to make a difference!

O God of all the Nations,
the One God who is and was and always will be, who in your providence willed that your Church be united to the suffering of your Son, look with mercy on your servants in Iraq who are persecuted for their faith in you.
Grant them perseverance and courage to be worthy imitators of Christ.
Bring your wisdom upon leaders of nations to work
for peace among all peoples.
May your Spirit open conversion for those who contradict
your will that we live in harmony.
And in all things may we be united in truth and freedom to seek your will in our lives.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Our Lady, Queen of Peace,
Pray for us.
