It's a day that continues to live in infamy, December 7, 1941, the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
That attack killed over 2,300 Americans and brought the United States into World War II.
88 year old Clyde Eidson remembers it as if it were yesterday. Former Navy Seaman Edison was on his submarine base on Pearl Harbor that fateful day.
Edison took part in the fighting as soon as the U.S. entered the war and fought in the battle of Midway.
He retired from the Navy in 1970 and since the war ended, he hasn't gone back to Hawaii.
The former Navy Seaman showed ACTION 4 NEWS memoriabilia from World War II. Even showed us a grave marker he was given.
But Edison is just shy of turning 89 and says he doesn't plan on that anytime soon.
