Herman Koeppe, James McCarren, and Thomas Powell all of Lasalle County were lost with the USS Arizona on December 7th, 1941. None of them were officially recovered after the attack. With this effort by USS Arizona Operation 85 there is a possibility of some or all of them being officially accounted for or it will be known that they are forever entombed in the remains of the battleship Arizona in Pearl Harbor.
