Today is the 78th anniversary of the 1941 sneak attack by Japan on Pearl Harbour.

It was an attack that shaped history, leaving more than 2,400 Americans dead and forcing the United States to enter a war it had been reluctant to join.

He had expressed in years past his wish to be buried alongside fellow sailors who died on that fateful day. One of them, 98-year-old Lou Conter, will be attending Saturday's memorial at the USS Arizona Memorial Park in Hawaii, alongside some 120 members of Bruner's family. At the time, President Franklin D. Roosevelt described the surprise attack on the US Navy base near Honolulu as"a date which will live in infamy."

He explained his decision to have the urn containing his cremated remains interred in the sunken ship during a 2014 news conference.
