Among the child survivors of Pearl Harbor that we have recently met is Stephen Kallis. Stephen was four years old on December 7, 1941, and his father was stationed in Hawaii as a coast artillery officer.
As Stephen tells us:
“My mother stood in the doorway of where we lived (Quarters 25, Officer’s Row, Fort Kamehameha) watching my father race to reach his troops, when a Japanese aircraft fired a single round that scored the sidewalk at the quarters and stopped close to her.”
The bullet remains in the Kallis family to this day:
We’ll post an audio interview with Stephen right here very soon.
