Pearl Harbor veterans remember Day of Infamy

Some of the dwindling number of Pearl Harbor Survivors recall " A day which will live in infamy" on its 70th anniversary.

Steve Krawczyk, 93, enlisted in the Army Air Corps and was stationed at Hickam Field, Oahu for two years prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. He describes those two years as serene, and says the attack "was like going 180-degrees." Once he and his comrades saw the Japanese planes overhead, "we knew immediately that we were at war." Krawczyk retired in 1945 as a Technical Sergeant and didn't talk much about his experience in the attack until much later in his life. Krawczky is seen at his home in Manassas, Va. on Dec. 1, 2011.
