A picture accompanied the article of the burial of Pfc Frank R. Carbiness, USMC, at the USS Arizona Memorial.
As National Park Service historian Daniel Martinez salutes, Jerry Carbiness hands the remains of his father to divers t be interred inside the USS Arizona, Friday, December 23, 2011, in Honolulu.
Pfc. Carbiness, whom was aboard the USS Arizona when the Japanese attacked, narrowly avoided getting hit by machine gun fire, and luckily his only injury was from friction burns suffered when he slid down a ladder while rushing to get off the ship.
Carbiness died in 2002, and is the second Marine to be interred within the USS Arizona.
