Ira "Ike" Schab, 104 , spent six weeks in physical therapy to build strength to salute.

He is one of only two Pearl Harbor survivors who made it to an annual observance.

"I was honored to do it. I’m glad I was capable of standing up," he says afterward.

The December 7, 1941 , bombing killed more than 2,300 U.S. servicemen.
