Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor
Bury me not
In an old church plot
Back in my hometown
No, bury me
Beneath the sea
Where my Navy mates went down
Please take me back
To that day of attack
Pearl Harbor in 41
I’d like my remains
With all of those names
When my time is finally done
I fought beside
So many who died
There on that fateful day
Just grant me this
As my dying wish
That I rest where my shipmates still lay

I meant to post this yesterday. It is based on reports that WWII vets that survived the attach on Pearl Harbor have been asking that their remains be laid with their former friends as a tribute to their sacrafice.
