The Sullivan Brothers


George, Francis, Joseph, Madison & Albert Sullivan Were Killed While Serving On The Light Cruiser USS Juneau. All Five Brothers Enlisted In The Navy Shortly After Pearl Harbor Was Bombed By The Country Of Japan.
These Boys Grew Up Together In Waterloo Iowa.
Feel Free To Google Their Name And You Will Get All The Information You Would Want On These Fighting Brothers. They Were All Good Catholic Boys Fathered By A Conductor On The Illinois Central Railroad. Their Mother Was A Protective And Loving Person.
Never Again Would The US Government Allow Brothers To Serve On The Same Ship Since The Sullivan Brothers Gave Their Lives For This Great Country Of Ours.
Ok, No Need To Thank Me For The History Lesson. You Know How It Is After You Watch A Tear Jerking Movie Or Read A Wonderful Novel. You Want To Share It With People You Care About.
Now You Can Ask My Brother Since We Were Both Sailors Back In The Day. Me A Sailor? Ask Tuck If I Was In The Navy. He Will Tell You I Had A Two Year Vacation On The Island Of Paradise. You Think There Is A Little Jealousy There?
Back To The Sullivan Brothers. Seriously, They Paid The Ultimate Price Because They Did Everything Together. God Bless Your Souls...Anchors Away My Boy..Anchors Away.
