Pearl Harbor: Sailors Who Survived Attack 70 Years Ago Return To Ships After Death
HONOLULU ? Lee Soucy, who lived to be 90 after surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor, is finally back with his shipmates 70 years later.
Soucy passed away just last year. On Tuesday, seven decades after dozens of fellow sailors were killed when the USS Utah sank on Dec. 7, 1941, Navy divers took a small urn containing his ashes and put it in a porthole of the ship.
The ceremony is one of five memorials being held this week for servicemen who lived through the assault and want their remains placed in Pearl Harbor out of pride and affinity for those they left behind.
"They want to return and be with the shipmates that they lost during the attack," said Jim Taylor, a retired sailor who coordinates the ceremonies.
The memorials are happening the same week the country observes the 70th anniversary of the aerial bombing that killed 2,390 Americans and brought the United States into World War II. A larger ceremony to remember all those who perished will be held Wednesday just before 8 a.m. Hawaii time ? the same moment the devastating attack began.
Most of the 12 ships that sank or were beached that day were removed from the harbor, their metal hulls salvaged for scrap. Just the Utah and the USS Arizona still lie in the dark blue waters. Only survivors of those vessels may return in death to their ships.
The cremated remains of Vernon Olsen, who served aboard the Arizona, will be interred on his ship during a sunset ceremony Wednesday. The ashes of three other survivors are being scattered in the harbor.
Soucy, the youngest of seven children, joined the Navy out of high school so he wouldn't burden his parents. In 1941, he was a pharmacist mate, trained to care for the sick and wounded.
He had just finished breakfast that Sunday morning when he saw planes dropping bombs on airplane hangars. He rushed to his battle station after feeling the Utah lurch, but soon heard the call to abandon ship as the vessel began sinking. He swam to shore, where he made a makeshift first aid center to help the wounded and dying. He worked straight through for two days.
The Utah lost nearly 60 men on Dec. 7, and about 50 are still entombed in the battleship. Today, the rusting hull of the Utah sits on its side next to Ford Island, not far from where it sank 70 years ago.
Soucy's daughter, Margaret, said her parents had initially planned to have their ashes interred together at their church in Plainview, Texas. But her father changed his mind after visiting Pearl Harbor for the 65th anniversary in 2006.
"He announced that he wanted to be interred on the Utah. And my mother looked a little hurt and perplexed. And I said, `Don't worry Daddy, I'll take that part of your ashes that was your mouth and I'll have those interred on the Utah. And you can then tell those that have preceded you, including those that were entombed, what's been going on in the world,'" Margaret Soucy recalled saying with a laugh.
"'And the rest of your remains we will put with mother in the church gardens at St. Mark's.' And then my sister spoke up and said, `Yes, then mother can finally rest in peace,'" she said.
The family had long kidded Soucy for being talkative _they called him "Mighty Mouth" ? so Margaret Soucy said her father laughed and agreed. "He just thought that was hilarious," she said.
"So that is what we are doing. We're taking only a portion of his ashes. It's going to be a small urn," she said.
Soucy's three children, several grandchildren and great-grandchildren ? 11 family members altogether ? attended the sunset ceremony on Tuesday. His wife died earlier this year.
Amid overcast skies, a Navy diver took the urn, protected by a mesh bag, and held it above water while swimming toward the Utah. The diver, who was accompanied by three supporting divers, went underwater to the porthole once reaching the ship.
An urn carrying the ashes of Vernon Olsen, who was among the 334 on the Arizona to survive the attack, will be interred in a gun turret on the ship Wednesday. Most of the battleship's 1,177 sailors and Marines who died on Dec. 7 are still entombed on the ship.
Five months after Pearl Harbor Olsen was on the USS Lexington aircraft carrier when it sank during the Battle of the Coral Sea.
"I used to tell him he had nine lives. He was really lucky," said his widow, Jo Ann Olsen.
He passed away in April at the age of 91 after a bout of pneumonia.
Pearl Harbor interment and ash scattering ceremonies began in the late 1980s, and started growing in number as more survivors heard about them.
Taylor has helped 265 survivors return to Pearl Harbor. The vast majority have had their ashes scattered. He's arranged for the remains of about 20 Arizona survivors to be placed in the Arizona and about a dozen to be put in the Utah.
"These guys are heroes, OK. Fact is, in my opinion, anybody that's ever served in the military and wore the uniform are heroes. That's why you and I can breathe today in a free country. So I just appreciate what they did," he said.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Verizon LTE hands-on (video)
We did take the unit for a speed test spin using our Verizon LTE MiFi, and achieved download speeds ranging from 5000-7000kbps and upload speeds of 300-2000kbps when connected to LTE over WiFi. These results don't represent what you'll see with the built-in module, but considering there was no way to get these running on the Verizon network, connectivity was limited to the MiFi and in-house WiFi. Still, this is your best shot at getting your hands on a device ahead of Verizon's official launch, so if you happen to be anywhere near NYC, head on down to the Samsung Experience to get your Nexus fix. Or hop past the break for our hands-on video.

Ghosn To Japan: Do Like Switzerland, Or Become Like Switzerland
For quite some time, Carlos Ghosn had been the booh-leader against the strong Japanese yen. At the sidelines of the Tokyo Motor Show, he launched into his so far strongest worded tirade against the ?abnormal? yen. He told the Japanese government to learn from the Swiss, and to basically peg the yen to another currency.
?The main problem we are facing today is the uncompetitive value of the yen. The yen is not so much a problem for the Japanese carmakers. The yen is a problem for Japan. Japanese makers are moving production little by little outside of Japan. ?The car industry employs between four and five million people in Japan, and more than half of the industry works for export. If the car industry goes, a substantial part of employment is going to go with it.?
?People say there is no solution.? Wrong! Wrong! Look what the Swiss have done. Switzerland is a great benchmark of how a small country has drawn a line in the sand. They said: Enough is enough, we will not allow the Swiss Franc to rise above a certain level against the Euro. Everybody laughed, but they stuck with it. What we are encouraging is that the government of Japan takes the same stance. If Japan draws a line in the sand, the market will listen.?
?Japanese car makers will survive this. They already are global. What we are saying is this: If there is nothing that is done, don?t blame us for the consequences.?
In other words: Follow the example of Switzerland, which had a similar problem with its rising currency, until it was effectively pegged against the Euro. Or watch the Japanese industry collapse to? Swiss size.

This forum is for OOC discussion about existing roleplays.
The Teachers of
Madame Constastine teaches the Language and Literature class, she also acts as co-headmistress to the almost always absent headmaster. He is busy protecting India from Djinn of course; the man has important work to do. She is one of the few teachers who fights, though her style is a form of soft fighting; using her fan to disarm and lock joints, and moving very little while misbalancing her opponent. She is much stronger than she looks, but her thin frame is mostly due to her height, a sheer six feet and two inches without heels, she is quite the willow tree. However if you so happen to call her a tree she will get snippy with you.
Master Yu is a talking panda, no joke, though it certainly seems like one. He was not always a panda, he used to be a monk, who apparently got a little too in touch with his animal spirit and turned into that animal. He teaches philosophy, which is more like a BS class, but rather than being graded for it, mostly the students are taught how to properly think, he opens their eyes, and that has made him a bit of a favorite. He is one of the few teachers can fight, and quite lumbering and powerful with his purely offensive technique, he uses chi blasts and energy control, and meditates in the strangest of places sometimes. He loves his tea, and often takes it with Madame Constastine. He genuinely cares about the kids and is a big softy, though can be an airhead at times. He's very blunt in nature and greets people with a 'Yo' often.

She is a sassy woman no doubt, but classy in her own right, she holds an air of sophistication and poise. Her taste in all things material is impeccable, and she is good with mediation when there is trouble between people, or advice needed. She is rumored to have psychic abilities, to see the dead and communicate with them; she is also rumored to have visions of the future. These are not so much rumors as they are fact.
