Clemson University junior Will Hines chats with retired U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Robert A. Henderson, 95, a Pearl Harbor survivor, Feb. 210, 2015. Hines was interviewing Henderson for an undergraduate research project at Clemson in which he tapes interviews with veterans and sends copies to the Library of Congress to be preserved forever. Henderson spoke about watching from a hillside as Japanese planes started dropping torpedoes on U.S. targets. "The first plane flew so close to me I could have thrown a rock and hit it," he said. Henderson served the duration of WWII, including at the Battle of Okinawa. "I was in the first and last battles of the war." (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Ken Scar)
