Pure Respect!

U.S. Navy divers gently carry the ashes of Pearl Harbor survivor Harvey Milhorn, returning him to his fallen shipmates aboard USS Arizona (BB-39). More than eight decades after the attack, he comes home at last, resting forever in the steel tomb where 1,177 brothers still keep watch.🕊️🇺🇸⚓

If someone takes my body back to Iraq when I die I'm gonna haunt somebody. Did he say that's what he wanted?

How about a nice quiet meadow somewhere?

I’ve been to that memorial.
And I’ve seen ships at full attention as they pass by it as they arrive/depart Pearl.
It’s quite moving.

There were 1,177 Officers and Sailors that died when the USS Arizona sank and the surviving crew became a brotherhood and are allowed to be entombed with their shipmates if they request so.

I guess he requested it then? Maybe I'm just weird but I would rather be buried under an oak tree somewhere than to be placed in an area of so much pain and death. I must be different.

Those men shared a special bond that no one else could understand. When I was in the Navy we made sure to honor Dec. 7 and as an NCO, I made sure the new sailors were told about and understood the sacrifices the Sailors, Airmen, Soldiers and Marines made that day.

You have to understand where his mindset was. I understand why he felt that way. There is no right or wrong. I understand how you feel too
