The spiritual and symbolism is overwhelming.

The last scene of "The Titanic" comes to mind.

Rest In Peace, sailor.

O God, where do we get such men?

A team of U.S. Navy and National Park Services divers took Haerry to his final resting place. They placed his urn in turret #3, an area of the ship they believe is near the remains of the shipmates who died during the attack on Dec. 7, 1941.

"This was the first time that I was thinking I'm also saying goodbye at the same time," said Haerry's granddaughter, Jessica Marino, who handed the urn to the divers. "It was sad, but it was also a really nice moment too."

Haerry was 19-years-old at the time of the attack. Martinez said the blast threw him from the ship, "The oil that was belching out of the ships ignited because of the explosion and he had to swim through that, got to Ford Island, got some medical care and somehow got a gun and fired back at the enemy and survived that day."

Haerry is now the 42nd USS Arizona survivor to rejoin his shipmates. Out of the 335 who survived that day, five are still alive.
