From the Dec. 5th Denver Post.
Guy Piper was brushing his teeth in the barracks on Ford Island when the attack came. he also served in the Korean War.
Two survivors who died after living into their nineties will be interred on their battleship this week.
On December 6th, Navy and NPS divers will lower Lee Soucy's cremated remains into the USS Utah. he died last year in Plainview, Texas, at age 90. He will be joining some 50 who perished when the ship sank and 8 whose ashes have been interred since.
On December 7th, divers will place Vernon Olsen's ashes on the USS Arizona. he was one of the 334 who survived that day and died at Port Charlotte, Florida, in April at age 91.
A very Fitting Burial Place.
