101-Year-Old Returns to Pearl Harbor to Remember Those Lost

When Japanese bombs began falling on Pearl Harbor, U.S. Navy Seaman 1st Class David Russell first sought refuge below deck on the USS Oklahoma.
But a split-second decision on that December morning 80 years ago changed his mind, and likely saved his life.
“They started closing that hatch. And I decided to get out of there,” Russell, now 101, said in a recent interview.

Its so great that we still have a few of these Pearl Harbor veterans with us. BTW, I can only hope I'll be in as good a shape as he is if I would ever make it to 101.
