CLARKSVILLE, Ga. Retired Army Captain Ken Schubring was there when Japanese planes attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. At 103 years old, he is one of only 13 American veterans of that attack still alive, and his memories remain razor sharp.

"Very sharp. Something like that, you can't forget," Schubring told CBS News' Jim Axelrod when asked about his memories nearly 84 years later.

Unlike most Americans who have experienced Pearl Harbor through historical accounts and documentaries, Schubring was there. He witnessed the Japanese attack firsthand and can still identify the aircraft that changed the course of American history.

"I knew they were Aichi 99's and they had a red circle underneath the wing and a red circle on the fuselage, and that was Japanese," Schubring said.
