Command Master Chief Luis R. Cruz and
Force Master Chief Michael Banko present flags to David and Tony
Czarnecki, the sons of Chief Machinist's Mate Anthony Francis
Czarnecki, during a burial at sea ceremony aboard the USS Arizona
Memorial, September 30, 2004. Czarnecki and his brother Stanley both
served aboard the battleship USS Arizona (BB-39). Czarnecki's
brother was killed in the attack and Czarnecki's last wish was to be
returned to USS Arizona to be with his brother and shipmates
upon his passing. U.S. Navy photo 040930-N-4995T-103 by

Since the early 1980s, the cremated
remains of men who served aboard USS Arizona have been
deposited at the USS Arizona Memorial. Pearl Harbor survivors
-- those men who were formally assigned to the ship on December 7,
1941 -- may have their ashes entombed within the ship, while other
USS Arizona veterans may have their ashes scattered on the
water directly over the vessel. The following list includes those
deposited at the USS Arizona site through late January 2005:
