They had all insisted on serving together on the same ship. Although the accepted Navy policy was to separate family members, the brothers had persisted and their request was approved. It was later learned, through survivors' accounts, that four of the brothers died in the initial explosion. The fifth, George Thomas, despite being wounded the night before, made it onto a raft where he survived for five days before succumbing either to wounds and exhaustion or a shark attack.

I love the song and being ex navy it really hits home. It brings a tear to my eye and goose bumps to my arms.

Agreed This is an outstanding song. Anyone remember and/or have the ability to upload a song by these guys called Trio' Pain?

Yes, they used to do a lot of shows in Wisconsin circa 1998-2000. I've seen them at least 10 times and truly wish they were still together. I will be travelling to Wisconsin Labor Day weekend and intend on seeing Jimmy Newquist (lead singer) at Taste Of Madison on Sunday. Won't be quite the same, but I'm sure I'll have fun!

You're an idiot. The Sullivan Act is a gun control law in New York. Contrary to popular belief there is no act or rule put in place to prevent siblings from serving aboard the same ship or in the the same platoon. It's usually just a suggestion they make as a precaucion. The Sullivanbrothers requested to be on the same ship together in spite of a prior incident involving another set of brothers. |
