From the July 6, 2016, Terre Haute (Ind) Tribune Star "75 years after his death in Pearl Harbor attack, Carlisle sailor's military honors set for Saturday" by Nick Hedrick.
Paul Andrews Nash of Sullivan County will be buried with full military honors at 2 p.m. this Saturday at Oddfellows Cemetery in Carlisle, Indiana.
Friday, today, his remains arrive from Hawaii by plane in Indianapolis where it will be disembarked with full military honors. The Indiana Patriot Guards will meet the casket.
Then, the hearse carrying his remains will drive to Holmes Memorial Chapel in Sullivan for a ceremony. After that, he will be buried in a plot next to that of his parents, Earl and Faye.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
