  1. Yeah, the 5 Sullivan brothers getting killed on Juno was a very big deal. I remember my Mom talking about it as a child. And hearing my My Mom say anything about WW2 was very rare. Her father was a Marine in Europe but she said that he NEVER said even a word about the war. She did say that he had thick brown hair before he left but when he got back it was ALL completely white.

  2. Yeah the Atlanta getting shot up by San Francisco on one side & the IJN on the other side. Plus the Atlanta & Juneau is made more for anti-aircraft rather than anti-surface fire. And taking a long lance is even major for a battleship much less a small cruiser! Poor guys.

  3. I knew that they named a ship after them. And that it's now a museum ship. But I didn't know that they made a movie about them. I'm guessing that it had a very sad ending! 5 brothers getting killed is pretty messed up! Very sad story. Must have torn their parents hearts out! It hurts my heart to think of the agony they must have felt. I'm sure they are passed away too by now. But the thought of any parent outliving their child just seems wrong.
