Amazing reading some comments... all lost at Pearl Harbor... their father too... all died over a span of four days... geez. They were all killed off Guadacanal on the cruiser Juneau on one night. There were reports that the oldest brother may have survived the sinking but died the next day in the water, swimming from group to group trying to find his brothers. Many sailors off the Juneau died in the water from wounds and shark attacks before they were rescued.

I just ran into this video again, after a while of not hearing it, because I lost my CD. I've always loved this video, and am really glad to hear it again. Thanks for posting a great song by a great band.

@OraleD it is about world war II, and the five sullivan brothers who enlisted and were serving together on the same ship the U.S.S Juneau, and during the battle of guadalcanal all five of them were killed when a japanese battleship shelled the Juneau and she sank with the loss of over 70% of her crew

@jayekennedyland you need to take your meds, really, brute force has settled more disputes both large and small that negoiting and politics ever has, how many more gold stars will be put in windows for this country to remain free, that one i can answer for you, AS MANY AS IT TAKES.

@monoclecobra are you kidding me? when you have any of your children overseas fighting for our country the parents have a small red white and blue banner they hang in their window of their home, each star denotes one child so if you have 3 of our children fighting you have 3 stars, if one of your kids die in action you change one of the blue stars to gold stars, are you an american? jesus everyone in this country knows that. in Mrs.Sullivans case she changed all 5 of her blue stars to gold.

@TheHippieManJoe I know this to be true, but being ex-army, The song just hits way to close to home. I just pray for a time when peace could rule. Unrealistic I know. But a girl can pray. Thanks for the return comment. Glad you love this song, my son introduced me to it many years ago.

@tasodar13 As an intelligent, active duty military member, there are so many things in your post that I take offense to. You're absolutely self contradictory. You talk about it not being romantic, but then the peace achieved from dying with your brothers? Also, since when has death not been tragically romantic? And your grammar is absolutely horrible. Please, try to clean your shit up. You make us all look fucktarded.

As a direct result of the Sullivans' deaths, the U.S. War Department adopted the Sole Survivor Policy.
