USS Arizona survivor rejoins shipmates underwater.

A veteran who survived the attack on Pearl Harbor and died has been reunited with his fallen shipmates on the sunken USS Arizona. Raymond Haerry was intered on the ship in a ceremony that his granddaughter says was solemn and beautiful. He was 19 when the attack on the Arizona occurred and he never went back to Hawaii because of the painful memories. As he neared the end of his life he told his family he'd like to be laid to rest there. That means there are only 5 survivors still remaining. His ashes went from Rhode Island to Hawaii and were given to divers, who placed it within the ships sunken hull. He is the 42nd survivor to rejoin his shipmates, according to the National Park Service.
