I think that's really cool that he wants to be interred with his fellow sailors that had fallen. I'm assuming that after the attack, they tried to recover as many bodies as possible? I know there were a lot of people they couldn't find...
Wonder where the man's wife is buried? Seems kind of sad he doesn't want to be buried with his wife? But very cool, and moving. Loved seeing the Mighty Moe' in the background...

Which one? He had 3 different ladies in his life and I suppose it would be a difficult thing to choose.

I have known families with dearly departed whose survivors fought over the remains. And look at the drama that followed singer James brown's death. I don't think he ever was actually buried. Last I heard, his mumified remains were still on public view in a daughter's front yard, probably with a collection box nearby?
