Survivors of Pearl Harbor Attack Gather for 73rd Anniversary Ceremony

It's a moment in American history that World War II veterans will never forget.

And over the weekend, survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor gathered for the 73rd anniversary.

Brigette Namata reports Sunday's ceremony was an opportunity for them to help "preserve the memory."

The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that 1.7 million World War II veterans are still living, with the youngest of them being in their late 80s.

Even more reason to honor and recognize their service.
