Family members attend Quartermaster 2nd Class Theodore
Summary
Family members attend Quartermaster 2nd Class Theodore F. Roosevelt's interment ceremony at the USS Utah Memorial March 20, 2014, at Ford Island, Hawaii. The Navy began interring and scattering ashes of Pearl Harbor survivors in the late 1980s and only survivors of the Arizona and Utah may return after death to their ships. It was Roosevelt's wish to have his remains brought back to Hawaii so he could be reunited with his shipmates who lost their lives during the 1941 attacks on Pearl Harbor.
