Never knew this about the USS Arizona
 

Speaks volumes........

Wow very cool to think they are given that opportunity.

Agreed!

But then again how could they say no to a solemn request? It say's a lot about the principles and commitment of the generation.

That is way too cool. I didn't know they did that!!!

Wow... who knew? You always hear stories from those that have served about feeling guilty that they survived versus those that didn't make it home. Pretty powerful decision to be buried with your war buddies over the usual "family".

Went there in '84.....still seeing the oil on the water seeping from its bowels was surreal......very moving place............jim

Very cool. I had no idea.

Pretty powerful indeed.......one would hope the family genuinely understands and accepts their decision.

Shared this with a friend, and he said his uncle was put to rest on it.:military:

Honoring those that deserve honor...:military: :patriot:

Thanks for posting Sieg.

Wow. Just wow.

wow. Very cool. Thanks for sharing this.

With all of the negativity that we hear about government, it sure is refreshing to see that honor and common sense can prevail.

Thanks Sieg for posting this.

:flag2: :flag2: :flag2:

Moving and a great reminder for me of what these soldiers were committed too---each other.

Thank you Sieg!

I've always wanted to go to Hawaii specifically to go to this memorial!!
