One of the best songs about W.W.II Ever!!!!

Bye

Always 💯 makes my feelers be OUCH😢

Why the TV show audio over top of the song??

I want to thank the Sullivan family for their sacrifice in WW2. I listen to this song every Memorial Day. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 🇺🇲

When I was young I kept bangin my head listening to this song... When I wore my uniform for my basic army course ...I listened to this music again...I understood....my tears kept rolling ....and I love to listen to this over & over.

As a lifelong Iowan, I know that the Sullivan Brothers are held in the highest regard. Interestingly enough, one of the local Waterloo radio stations plays this song fairly regularly...

This movie is 💯

and there were 405,394 other "we regret to inform you...." during ww2.

I’m so glad that my teacher showed us this song. I didn’t really understand what it meant back then but now I understand how beautiful this is.

Well done, sir. Thank you!!!! We are only human so we need to be reminded of the eternal realm where they went!

Loved this sing way back when, and for some reason thought of it.... Today! Good job with the video! Unbelievable sacrifice

For the ones who wants to know what this song mean here you go. Sullivan is a song made by caroline's spine. The song is about 5 brothers from Waterloo, Iowa who heard about the disaster on pearl harbor. WWII started and all 5 brother joined. So beacause of that 5 blue stars was put on the window. When the war ended we won of course, but like every war someone dies. And sadly all 5 brothers died. So beacause of that the blue stars will be changed to gold.

This is my favorite movie

I would like to hear this without music, but with someone telling of the events.

What year are we in?

Fix the volume please.

AS A US NAVY, RETIREE, I AM AS PROUD AS EVER OF THOSE THAT PRECEDED ME IN THE NAVY, I TOO ENLISTED (VOLUNTARILY) ON NOVEMBER 18TH, 1964, JUST SIX DAYS AFTER MY 17TH BIRTHDAY, I PROUDLY SERVED 34 YEARS AND I THANK "TRUE" STORIES LIKE THIS ONE FOR THE INSPIRATION THEY PROVIDED ME EWITH AND ASSIST ME IN MAKING THE DECISION, I NEVER REGRETTED NOR HAVE I EVER, NOR WILL I EVER REGRET THAT DECISION, I LOVE THIS COUONTRY WE ALL CALL HOME AND EVEN NOW AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 68 WOULD BE "READY, WILLING AND ABLE" TO DO IT AGAIN (IF NECESSARY) GOD BLESS THE SULLIVANS, OUR MILITARY AND MOST OF ALL "GOD BLESS AMERICA"

You did a FANTASTIC job, here !!! Awesome video and music connection !!!

Awesome

Thank you for creating this. Great work, and a great tribute torealAmerican Heros.

I live in iowa

Oh, is that your excuse? Having better things to do? That's a good one (rolling my eyes). Listen, just to show there are no hard feelings, I'll treat you to a whamburger and french cries at McDonald's.

Yep, or I have better things to do than think everyday to check my youtube messages to see if you responded.

LOL, it took you 5 days to come up with that? I must be too clever for you.

Man, you are just too clever for me. You must be AF with all those smarts under your belt.

It's okay, just contact my secretary and she'll give you a "Hurt Feelings Report" to fill out.

That's a good response. You caught me with my pants down. I didn't realize we had a movie fanboy on our hands. Try not to start a Jihad over it please Mr. Troglodyte

Okay, so you weren't there.

No, but I am from Iowa, about 15 minutes away from where the Sullivans lived

Oh, were you there?

thats not actually how it happened at all...the fighting sullivans was a highly romanticized movie.

While listening about Pearl Harbor on the radio, the dad looks at his 5 sons and says: "Army or Navy?" You'll never see that these days. They were real men back then.

I remember when I first watched this movie. The scene when they were listening to the radio about Pearl Harbor, then the father looks at them all and says: "Army or Navy". You'll never see something like that these days. They were real men back then.

I don't think this song is in keeping with the gravity of the situation. It's not the lyrics, it's the music.

You did a Great job man with the vid an for the SULLIVAN BROTHERS...R.I.P

F'n GREAT Video !!!!!!!!

bass line is SICK! i love it !!!!

holly SHIT..... ITS AMAZING!! :D

whoever dislikes ...I hope you dont live in the us, and if you do MOVE OUT!!!!!

...very sad...very heroic and very sad...and VERY UNIQUELY AMERICAN

this is really a great video going with the song

The Sullivan brothers were my great uncles.

@jrlomy2k The Sullivan Family did not find out their sons were killed as was portrayed in the movie...not at first. Mrs. Sullivan initially heard of her boys' deaths as rumors which were floating around Waterloo; as others who served knew of the story who lived in the area had told their families. It wasn't until Mrs. Sullivan wrote to the war department several times, and finally received a letter from. Pres. Roosevelt that she had gotten a confirmation.

Lastly, for those who haven't seen the movie, they did not just 'up and enlist' then and there. In real life, a couple of the brothers had already had military experience by the time WWII came around. The others later enlisted and went to basic long before they all were put on the USS Juneau. There were other sets of brothers who were also killed, some had six brothers. But for whatever reason the Sullivan family was good "PR" for the government to use as advertisement to get men to enlist.

However, there were only a few dozen who managed to get off the ship and onto life rafts. Unfortunately, they were in shark infested waters, with no food or supplies. Dehydration and illness overtook them (all being covered with oil and debris from the explosion), many including George became insane and jumped into the water, believing they could swim to shore. This is documented in a publication called "Left to Die"; written by Jimmy Sullivan, the son of the youngest Sullivan brother, Albert

I grew up watching this movie and knowing the story of the Fighting Sullivans. My father and two uncles who served in Vietnam were separated and put into different tours because of the Sullivan Law. I do believe this law has been repealed and brothers can again serve together. However, if it is of interest to anyone here, do more research on the family as the movie was greatly 'hollywood" influenced. George HAD originally been one of the last few survivors...

Great video, great song, good job of putting this all together. I hope you got an A+. Can I have your permission to use this for some public showing/viewing? It would be not for profit. Thanks again! Jut

war has the worst price to pay for some the loss of a friend or family member...for others...they will never be the same again, they go to fight only to live through a nightmare.

i watched this movie in history class and omg the end made me cry that was so freaking sad =/ and thanks to them no siblings can serve together so stuff like that doesnt happen again
