    After 79 years, Lauren Bruner has been reunited with his shipmates. The crew of the Arizona is complete once again, at long last. Rest in the arms of God. Fair winds and following seas.

      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.

      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.
