Bob Fernandez was 17 when he joined the U.S. Navy as a 17-year-old high school student in August 1941 .

Four months later he found himself shaking from explosions and passing ammunition to artillery crews.

"I'm not a hero. I’m just nothing but an ammunition passer," he says.

Two Pearl Harbor survivors, each 100 or older, plan to return to Hawaii on Saturday to mark 83rd anniversary.
