The Five Sullivan Brothers

A detailed Summary of The Five Sullivan Brothers


The Sullivan brothers, George, Francis, Eugene, Madison, and Albert, were the sons of Thomas and Aleta Sullivan of Waterloo. The brothers ranged from age 20 to 29 when they enlisted in the U.S. Navy after learning of the death of a good friend at Pearl Harbor. At their request, the five were assigned to the same ship, the cruiser Juneau. This was against Navy policy, but the Sullivan's request was granted. The Juneau was sunk by the Japanese in November 1942 during the battle for the Solomon Islands. Four of the brothers went down with their ship. The fifth, George, was badly wounded. He made it to a life raft but died before Juneau's survivors were rescued.
