The remains of a Wisconsin sailor will return to his hometown for burial. 

Navy Hospital Apprentice First Class Keith Connolly was 19-years-old when he was killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.  Connolly along with over 400 other crewman on the USS Oklahoma died when the ship capsized after being hit by torpedoes.  His remains were identified earlier this year and he will be buried in November in his hometown of Markesan.
