Q .1 fu USS THE SULLIVANS CDDG 685 is named in honor of the five heroic brothers from Waterloo, I Iowa, who served together on USS JUNEAU CCL-525 during World War II. Following the death of their friend Bill Ball at Pearl Harbor, the five Sullivan brothers decided to enlist in the Navy. Two of the brothers had served previous four-year enlistments in the Navy, and so, when all five brother enlisted together on January 3, 1942, the Navy was the obvious choice. They were adamant about serving together in spite of the Navy wartime policy to separate family members. Because of their persistence, their request to be stationed together was approved. The Sullivan brothers: George, 28, Francis, 27 3 Joseph 24, Madison, 23, and Albert, 20, lost their lives during the Battle of Guadalcanal on November 13, 1942. The brothers received the Purple Heart Medal posthumously and were entitled to the American Defense Service Medal, Fleet Clasp, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with four engagement stars, and the World War II Victory Medal. They had also earned the Good Conduct Medal. They were survived by their parents, Mr. Thomas F. Sullivan and Mrs. Alleta Sullivan, a sister, Genevieve Sullivan, and by Albert Leo Sullivan's wife, Katherine Mary Sullivan. Their son, James Thomas, was twenty-two months old at the time of his father's death. The family today includes two grandchildren of Albert Sullivan: Kelly Ann Sullivan Loughren, the ship's sponsor, and John Sullivan. p The first USS THE SULLIVANS CDD 5375 was christened on April 4, 1943 by Mrs. Alleta Sullivan. Commissioned in September 1943, the ship arrived in Pearl Harbor in December 1943 and was immediately assigned to the Pacific Theater. It earned eleven battle stars in World War II and the Korean War. The ship's motto We Stick Together was the motto of the Sullivan brothers. It is a way of life for THE SULLIVANS' crew today, based on the sacrifices made by this proud Irish-American family from Waterloo, Iowa. p ?F lg. I oblcx revival D 5
