Bud Cloud survived Pearl Harbor and had one just one request before he died: to see the Navy one last time with the ship that has the same name as the one he served on in Pearl Harbor.

'I want discharge papers, I want to be on hospice, I'm going to see the Navy before I die,'
"He was on hospice at the time," his wife said, "He said I'm ready to go I could die happy now."

13 days later, Bud Cloud's ship sailed off. He died at peace and feeling whole.

"They fulfilled something that he needed and I hope he helped fulfill something for them," his wife said.


Ummm...
Excuse me...
I think I've got something in my eye...
