If you're American, chances are that you've heard of the Sullivan brothers of Waterloo, Iowa. Five brothers born between 1914 and 1922, they all served and perished on the same ship in the U.S. Navy in WWII. As a result of their loss, Congress passed the so-called Sullivan Law, preventing family members from serving on the same ship, so that no family would be so devasted again. In spite of their loss, the brothers' parents made appearances in support of the war effort.
