BEAVERTON, Ore. – 82 years after the events at Pearl Harbor, survivor Ira Schab remembers how he felt the day of the attack.
“Scared stiff…and standing there, you don’t know where to go, you don’t know what to do. It’s a funny feeling,” Schrab tells Fox News.
The 103-year-old Schab will return Thursday to Hawaii, and is expected to be one of the few survivors left to attend the remembrance at Pearl Harbor.
“I’m still here and able to bring those memories to the people who are still here, and weren’t here then,” Schab says.
Over 2,300 servicemen were killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor when the Japanese surprised the U-S military in 1941.
The events at Pearl Harbor launched the United States into World War II, eventually leading to the dropping of two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
