Pearl Harbor survivors, centenarians, return sailors' salute
The Daily Guardian|December 09, 2024
Ira "Ike" Schab, a 104-year-old Pearl Harbor attack survivor, was so determined to stand and salute during a remembrance ceremony honoring those killed in the Japanese bombing that thrust the U.S. into World War II some 83 years ago that he spent six weeks in physical therapy to build the strength to do so.
Pearl Harbor survivors, centenarians, return sailors' salute

On Saturday, Schab gingerly rose from his wheelchair and raised his right hand, returning a salute delivered by sailors on a destroyer and a submarine passing by in the harbor. His son and a daughter supported him from either side.

"I was honored to do it. I'm glad I was capable of standing up," he said afterward. "I'm getting old, you know."
