Two survivors of the Pearl Harbor attack, now over 100 years old, are set to attend a remembrance ceremony on the anniversary of the bombing that led the U.S. into World War II. The attack, which occurred on December 7, 1941, resulted in the deaths of over 2,300 servicemen and prompted the U.S. to declare war on Japan the following day.
