The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Private Vernon P. Keaton-- Part 2: Buried in U.S. or Cremated and Ashes Spread Over Hawaii
His mother and father are both buried at the Lula Cemetery in Lula, Oklahoma.
He was 18 when he joined the USMC and had no children. The DNA match was not easy to find.
His identification was based on DNA and his family was given the choice of having him buried in the continental United States or cremated with his ashes spread over Hawaii.
They chose burial in Oklahoma.
