I was 3 years old when Pearl Harbor happened my dad enlisted into the Navy stationed on the USS Halligan in South Pacific off the coast of Okinawa where it hit a mine and lost half of the enlisted men and all but two of the officers it all starts and ends with USS Arizona and its crew I'm so proud to be a part of the Navy family and the respect they are always shown

Just think if the US had not seized all Japan's assets to force them into WW2 And not hidden the INTELL they were reading all Japanese codes and not moved the Carriers out to Sea TAKING JAPAN BY SURPRISE. And not betrayed all those at Pearl Harbour as disclosed in the OFFICIAL US INQUIRY into Pearl Harbour. He would not be doing this. Like the Phony WMD like the Phony Gulf of Tonkin incident to get into Vietnam and like 911 the US government orchestrated.

It's good to see the younger ones giving proper burial to their older brothers like this. I wish him fair seas and godspeed.

Rest in peace sailor !! You are wrapped in your brothers arms and goodness. 98 yrs young you had a good life and wanted to be with your fellow sailors god bless you sir!!!

This is pure respect by our military and also pure respect he deserves.. to all the haters please take notice and start appreciating your freedoms thanks to these fine men and women in uniform...

Who in their right state of mind could find anything about this video to dislike? A friend and a shipmate has come home to be together. What is wrong with that? Show some compassion, if you do not like it please show the family some respect and not comment at all.

Who in their right mind would give a thumbs down on this.he only wished to be with his shipmates. I'm a army vet and being a dum ground pounder even I can understand why!!

How touching, a fitting to all the brave men that died that day and to the one who now want to be back with there shipmates 🇺🇸🤝⚓️

welcome home shipmate we have been waiting for you.

I just found out that they did this, it is absolutely beautiful 🇺🇸

Godspeed, sailor. Your mission has been accomplished!

RIP shipmate, you are finally back home. Semper Fortis!

I had the honor to reenlist on the Arizona in 1983 while stationed at Schofield Barracks. RIP Sir. 🇺🇸

Very touching, my father is a 96 year old sailor, he never talked about anything that happened in ww2 , iwo jima and Okinawa. Truly the greatest generation

I really wish this generation was here today, we sure could use them to get us through this mess 2020 brought upon us. RIP Gramps and thanks for your service and loyalty to your friends and family. We miss you.

Finally Home,....Sir, that you may rest in peace for eternity.

Such reverence is shown by the divers. Rest In Peace

As a retired sailor, this made me cry. God Bless all those whose remains are interred there.

At last they are together. There is peace and the waiting is over. The ship has its crew and they are once again standing the watch on her. Eternally on duty. RIP.

You have earned your Wings Sailor. Rest easy with your Brothers and thank you for your service.

God Bless him and all who serve !

Very true, just like reading the words from soldiers that died in the Civil War, expressing their values. There is a lot of displaced hatred nowadays for Confederate soldiers and their monuments from that conflict. What is important is remembering the intensity that all Americans laid down their lives for.

Thank-you, Sir. I had the privilege of living next door to a survivor stationed on the U.S.S. St. Louis for a number of years. My youngest is named after him, in part. We will never forget your service, nor your sacrifices.

Currently reading Bruners book "Second To The Last To Leave USS Arizona" RIP to a man from the greatest generation.

Proud of my country!!

They had a great honor in doing this service amen to this serviceman

Thank you for sharing this with the world. Very important.

Yesterday Lou Conter died, the last survivor of the USS Arizona. I don't know if he'll be buried on the ship or not. May all these brave men rest in peace.

As far as i am aware the remaining survivors do not wish to be intured on the ship. All the crew that will rest aboard her for eternity are now home.

Lou Conter (Lt. Cmdr), the speaker starting at 0:17, was the last living survivor of the Arizona. He passed away on April 1, 2024 at the age of 102. Conter was interred in Sacramento, Ca. So, there are no more crew members left to be interred on the ship.

What a lovely end for him back with his mates.What those young men went through wouldhavebeen horrific aand i bet not a day went past without it going through his mind .R.I.P. TO all aboard

Rest in peace with your brothers good man.

How can anyone not be moved by this ? RIP Mr Bruner.

The Greatest Generation, the likes of which will never be seen again... Thank You for your service and rest in peace your watch has ended.......................................

God Bless America !

On watch for eternity, with his mates, the Valkyries sing and his brothers embrace him. For he has return home to his lady and knows the peace of the depths of the sea. VALHALLA, VALHALLA !

Big thanks to all involved!!!

Thank you Sir for your love of country and for fighting for her... Rest in peace 🙏

God bless them all. Mat they find the happiness that was denied them in this life.

Went there this year very moving place cryed alot

(Ding-ding) "Attention all hands: Shipmate Lauren Bruner, arriving". "Hey guys, Lauren is back!" "Good to see you, buddy!" "Yeah, we've been missing you." "Its good to be back with you guys!" "We're all here now. All together once again. Just like back in the day." "Yeah, and its peaceful here. Quiet, too. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else." Officer of the Deck on the 1MC: "All hands present and accounted for."

RIP brother shipmate

Thousands of boys became men that day, and for many, life ended there. A full life they did not enjoy but as for a fulfilled life, nobody has done better. There is no greater love than to lay down ones life for ones friend. John 15:13 Thank you sir, and thank you all.

Pearl harbor and the USS Arizona memorial are such a peaceful, moving, emotional and heartbreaking experience. Such an amazing experience more of this generation should take to heart and learn something from.

My understanding is that the last 2 remaining survivors wish to be buried with their families so he will be the last to be buried with their shipmates. Rest in peace patriots you have earned your place in honor.

A full crewed ship of the line. Full steam ahead and God speed

I'm reading a book on all the men who went down with the USS ARIZONA, and this brings all that to life. They are still on duty on the ARIZONA. The book is called "THE MEN of the USS ARIZONA". It was compiled by TJ Cooper and a lot of work went into this book. Respect and Semper Fi to all the 1177 sailors and Marines that went down with her on December 7th 1941.

Speechless. VietVet 1970-71

Godspeed Ensign Bruner. May you now Rest In Peace with your shipmates. Your Watch is over, and your tour of duty complete.

Overcome by so much emotion.

Wow, Ill bet the divers were in tears! JohnP.

RIP Sailor, you're back with your brothers. Little did they know that they et the precedent for future generations of servicemen, and women who would answer the call to defend our nation. Those brave men, and women back then, and continuing today are the TRUE epitome of the words "To protect and serve!" May God give them rest and grant them eternal peace.

Respect and RIP.
