From Fox News. What a great story! May God bless her.

A lifelong story of love and service has been brought into the public eye through a compelling donation to a World War II-related museum. 

At 106 years old, Alice Beck Darrow, a former nurse, knows more than most about survival. 

So did her husband, Dean Darrow. The pair met while she was caring for him at Mare Island Naval Hospital in California in 1942.  

The young sailor had survived the deadly attack on the USS West Virginia on Dec. 7, 1941. That ship was sunk by six torpedoes and two bombs, according to the National Park Service. One hundred and six people were killed in the attack. 

While Darrow survived the actual bombing, he was shot as he tried to board a rescue boat. 

He survived the surgery — and the two were married that same year. 

The bullet became a cherished object for the couple, Beck Darrow said. It was a reminder of the circumstances that brought them together. 

The couple raised four children in California and were married for nearly 50 years. 

She kept the bullet safe throughout their years together, as well as long after her husband’s passing in 1991.
