Send a hero's ashes to Pearl Harbor
Donation protected
Raymond Haerry, 94, one of the last alive of those who were on the USS Arizona during the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, died Tuesday, Sept. 27, in Rhode Island.
An explosion threw Haerry, who was 19 at the time of the attack, into the water. After swimming to shore, he helped defend against the attack and then to recover bodies after the attack had ended.
Haerry remained in the Navy, retiring as a master chief after serving for 25 years. He was one of six living Arizona crew members before his death.
Raymond Haerry is survived by his son, Raymond Haerry Jr., and his wife of 70 years, Evelyn Haerry.
Haerry Jr. says when he can afford it, he'll take his father's ashes to be interred on the Arizona.
His son should not have to struggle to pay for laying an American hero's ashes to rest.
Funds will be spent on airfare for Raymond Haerry Jr. and Evelyn Haerry travelling to Honolulu, hotel and meals, and related expenses for laying his ashes to rest at the USS Arizona. Remaining funds will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project.
