In this Nov. 11, 2016 photo, a gravestone, left, with the inscription UNKNOWN U.S. SAILOR, is adorned with a flower and a small pumpkin at Long Island National Cemetery in Farmingdale, N.Y. A WWII researcher says he has documents showing the grave is one of four that each holds the body of a sailor who perished on Jan. 3, 1944, when their ship, the USS Turner, exploded and sank at the entrance to New York Harbor. That researcher believes many more victims of the disaster were buried in the graves together. The Pentagon still lists 136 sailors from the disaster as missing. (AP Photo/Frank Eltman)
