Not to mention the one in which the four or five brothers died on the same ship when it was sunk in the Pacific. The McCarthy Brothers (or something).

Here’s the real “or something”.

“The five Sullivan brothers were World War II sailors who, serving together on the light cruiser USS Juneau, were all killed in action on its sinking around November 13, 1942..” see wiki or google

Learned this while in the third grade collecting USA postage stamps...their faces were featured on the commerative issue.
