During a visit to Pearl Harbor on September 18, 2025, 106-year-old Alice Beck Darrow donated a powerful piece of history to the National Memorial Museum: a bullet that had been removed from her late husband’s heart after the 1941 attack. Dean Darrow, a sailor aboard the USS West Virginia, was wounded in the Pearl Harbor bombing. Months later, surgeons discovered a bullet in his heart. He met Alice, a Navy nurse, before surgery — and they fell in love. They married in 1942, and kept the bullet as a symbol of their story. The donation was made while Beck Darrow was sailing aboard Holland America Line’s Westerdam on a 28-night cruise themed around history, in partnership with The History Channel. Now, the bullet — and the story behind it — is on display at Pearl Harbor for all to remember.
