Clemson undergrad interviews Pearl Harbor suvivor Robert Henderson

Retired U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Robert A. Henderson, 95, a Pearl Harbor survivor, tells Clemson University student Will Hines his story for a research project called the Veterans Project, Feb. 21, 2015. Hines interviews veterans for the project, and then sends the tapes to the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. to be preserved forever. "The first plane flew so close to me I could have thrown a rock and hit it," he said. Henderson would go on to serve more than 50 months in combat during WWII, including at the Battle of Okinawa. "I was in the first and last battles of the war," he said. (Photo by Ken Scar)
