President’s Report Brothers, We are now closing in on the end of 2012. November starts out with the joy of All Saints Day, immediately followed by our fond memories of the dearly departed on All Souls Day. Near the end of the month we celebrate the tradition of turkey and football on Thanksgiving Day. The change in the season reminds us the hustle and bustle in the following month. Many of us have roots or family members in the area of the country that was hard hit by Hurricane Sandy. I pray that your relatives and friends in the area were spared much hardship. The northeast is home to many divisions of Hibernians. Please remember all our Brothers and their families in your prayers. We had a number of activities in September. At our last meeting two new members took the pledge of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. I’d like to welcome Larry Schilling and Walt Martin to our Division. A group of our Brother Hibernians, along with a representative of the Sons of Erin Division attended the Room at the Inn’s annual fundraising banquet on Oct. 25th. Over 1,000 people were there. Room at the Inn, which was the recipient of one of our first contributions, serves as a safe haven and source of hope for pregnant mothers and their children. It was great to see Fr. Hoare and Fr. Miller, two of our former Chaplains who were in attendance. On Saturday, Oct. 27th, Brothers Frank Fay, Dick Seymour and I, performed our Division’s semiannual commitment to clean Torrence Creek Stream. Since the County had reconstructed the stream and the banks, the chore wasn’t as treacherous as it was in the past (i.e., none of us fell in the stream). Since we perform this task twice a year, I encourage each of you to take a turn and help out. We are doing something for the community and environment. Many of our members have signed up to attend a Christmas in Ireland concert at Davidson College on Nov. 27th, performed by the Irish group Danu. Prior to the concert we plan to have our monthly social at the Brickhouse Tavern Restaurant in Davidson. Even if you don’t plan on attending the concert, you can join us for the dinner. This will serve as our monthly social for November. Don’t forget to do your civic duty and vote in the upcoming election. Aside from the TV and radio sound bites and political ads, most parishes are providing guidance on the Catholic Church’s issues to consider when in the voting booth. Keep in your prayers our Financial Secretary, Ron Haley, as he battles a kidney stone and Mike Daniels who is recovering from surgery involving the implantation of a defibrillator. Our next meeting will be held at 7:30pm on Thursday, Nov. 8th at Holy Spirit Parish Activity Center, Room 1. At our recent meetings we began holding a 50-50 raffle and at the close of the meeting we had some snacks and refreshments. Chris O’Keefe was the winner of last month’s meeting incentive award. The incentive is in the form of a drawing whereby the member whose name is pulled from a “hat” will win $25. If the winner is not present that month’s amount would be added to the $25 for the next month’s drawing. Don’t forget the Division’s Blog on our website. St. Brendan the Navigator, pray for us.

Irish America News USS Juneau and the Fighting Sullivans 13 November 2012 will be the 70th Anniversary of the sinking of USS Juneau CL-52 On 13 November 1942 at 1101, USS Juneau CL-52 (anti-aircraft light cruiser) commanded by Captain Lyman “Knute” Swenson, was torpedoed by Japanese Sub I-26, disintegrated in a violent explosion, and sank 25 miles off the coast of San Cristobal Island during the Battle of Guadalcanal. The Juneau, San Francisco, and Helena were severely damaged in the previous day’s battle, and were seeking the safe harbor of Espiritu Santo. The remaining damaged ships increased speed and made no attempt to attack the Japanese sub, or rescue any survivors, because nothing could be seen of the Juneau. The Juneau had disappeared, but there were survivors. All were severely wounded from the explosion and they made their way to several doughnut rafts that had been blown free from the ship. Of the Juneau’s original crew of over 700 officers and men, only 100-140 were still alive. The Juneau survivors included George “Sully” Sullivan, a Gunner’s Mate from Waterloo, Iowa. George at 29 was the oldest of the five Sullivan Brothers (Frank [26], Joseph [23], Matt [22], and Albert [20]) whom perished on the USS Juneau. Albert Sullivan was the only brother that had married and had an infant son, Jimmy. George and Frank had each completed a previous Navy enlistment in June 1941. On 7 December 1941 the five Sullivan Brothers listened to the news on the radio with their parents (Tom and Alleta) and sister (Genevieve), about the attack on Pearl Harbor. A few days later they learned that their close friend, Bill Ball, had died aboard the USS Arizona during the attack. The brothers discussed the matter and enlisted on 3 January 1942, making it a condition that they be assigned together. The Navy Department had originally rejected the “We Stick Together” stipulation but relented under the insistent demands of the brothers. After completing a brief training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, the Sullivans received orders on 15 February 1942 to the new light cruiser USS Juneau. This was the first time that five brothers served on the same warship. The Juneau experienced peaceful Atlantic duty until 22 August 1942, when it was directed to the Pacific campaign. During the Battle of Santa Cruz Island on 26 October, which pitted ships against aircraft, Juneau helped shoot down many Japanese aircraft attacking the carrier Hornet. U.S. Marines had landed on Guadalcanal on 9 August and the fierce battle for the Solomon Islands was just beginning. Japan’s plan was to use Guadalcanal as a base to invade Australia. The unexpected invasion of Guadalcanal by our Marines caught Japan off guard and unprepared. They were building an airfield on Guadalcanal and the Japanese high command decided it was imperative that the island be retaken. Into this eventual inferno came the Juneau and five Sullivan brothers. The Juneau helped the task force bring 6,000 more troops to Guadalcanal on 12 November. The Japanese responded with air attacks. Rear Admiral Richmond Turner maneuvered the American ships to avoid the Japanese torpedoes. The Juneau and other screening ships anti-aircraft fire decimated the attacking enemy planes. The Sullivan brothers aboard the Juneau The Sullivans knew they would soon see naval action. “Don’t worry about us,” wrote Joseph in a letter home. “We’ll be all right. We’re looking after each other.” Their letters always ended with “Keep your chin up and don’t worry.” On 1 November 1942, Tom and Aletta, mailed Christmas presents to their boys. The Juneau left New Caledonia for Guadalcanal on 8 November. At 0130 on 12 November, the American naval forces cruised along Guadalcanal. The American naval force lead by Admiral Daniel “Uncle Dan” Callaghan included the San Francisco, Portland, Helena, Atlanta, Juneau, and eight destroyers-Cushing, Laffey, Sterett, O’Bannon, Aaron Ward, Barton, Monssen, and Fletcher. No Japanese ships were observed, but the crews on our ships remained alert. From the North came the Japanese naval force with two battleships, a cruiser, and 11 destroyers. In the darkness the two forces moved directly toward each other, neither aware of the other. A few minutes later the battle described as “a barroom brawl with the lights out” commenced. Historian Jack Coggins described it this way. “It was perhaps the most vicious night action in history. Armored ships engaged at point-blank range, destroyers raked battleships with automatic weapons, and torpedoes streaked toward targets so close that the warheads had no time to arm.” In less than an hour the battle was over. Five American and three Japanese ships lay at the bottom of the ocean. Others limped away or drifted aimlessly.

  • Brothers in Arms 1945 March 12-18
    1 Brothers in Arms 1945 March 12-18 In the 1998 Hollywood drama Saving Private Ryan, Tom Hanks portrays an officer leading a squad of U.S. Army Rangers behind German lines shortly after the Normandy invasion. Their mission is to find a paratrooper, Private James Ryan played by Matt Damon, and bring him back to safety because his three brothers have been killed in action. General George C. Marshall personally ordered the mission to save the life of an Iowa family's sole surviving son. There was no Private Ryan in this situation during World War II, but the scenario is based in fact. The danger of brothers serving together on the same ship was demonstrated on the first day of World War II for the United States. Thirty-eight sets of brothers (79 individuals) were serving on board the battleship U.S. S. Arizona when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese. When a Japanese bomb penetrated the forward ammunition magazine of the Arizona, sixty-three brothers (23 sets) died in the massive explosion that sank the ship. Of the three sets of three brothers on the ship, only one individual of each set survived. The only set of brothers who remained intact after the attack on the Arizona were Kenneth Warriner, who was on temporary assignment in San Diego, and Russell Warriner, who was badly burned.1 The devastation of Pearl Harbor would also be linked another family tragedy involving brothers. A sailor from Fredericksburg, Iowa named William Ball was one of the thousands of Americans killed in the attack.

  • LEFT to DIE Produced, Written & Directed by Kenneth A. Simon Www
    LEFT TO DIE Produced, Written & Directed by Kenneth A. Simon www.simonpure.com OPEN NARRATOR: On Friday, November 13, 1942, the cruiser USS Juneau disintegrated when hit by a Japanese torpedo just hours after surviving a vicious World War II sea battle. Most of its 700-man crew were instantly killed. But 140 were thrown alive into the angry waters off Guadalcanal. Only 10 ultimately survived. The Navy glorified the crew’s heroic deaths. But the scandalous story of how the Juneau crew was left to die is a heartbreaking tragedy of American military errors. TITLE: LEFT TO DIE: THE TRAGEDY OF THE USS JUNEAU JAMES SULLIVAN (Son of Albert Sullivan): This is a picture of the five Sullivan Brothers -- my father and my four uncles. They all served together in the Navy on the USS Juneau. And this is Joe, my Dad Al, George, Frank and Matt. They were known as the "Fighting Sullivans" NARRATOR: Thomas and Alleta Sullivan of Waterloo, Iowa, were destined to suffer an unprecedented loss in battle of five sons. NEWSREEL “Dad, our boys did not die in vain.” SULLIVAN: My grandfather was a brakeman on the Illinois Central Railroad. They were your typical Irish Catholic family. The boys liked to get in trouble a little bit, but they didn't get in any bad trouble. My dad, he was the youngest. He was 19 and he was the only one that was married at the time. Their motto, "We stick together" was true from the time they were little kids. NARRATOR: After the December, 1941, surprise Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, the Sullivan Brothers decided to join up together, but only if they could serve on the same ship.

  • Sullivan Brothers Deaths Changed How US Manned Military Units
    Sullivan Brothers Deaths Changed How US Manned Military Units 3.6K The five brothers on board the light cruiser Juneau (left), Joseph, Francis, Albert, Madison and George Sullivan were five siblings who all died during the same attack in World War II during the Battle of Guadalcanal, November 1942. In the late evening and early morning of Nov. 12-13, 1942, the United States and Japan engaged in one of the most brutal naval battles of World War II. Minutes into the fight, north of Guadalcanal, a torpedo from Japanese destroyer Amatsukaze ripped into the port side of the American light cruiser Juneau (CL-52), taking out its steering and guns and killing 19 men in the forward engine room. The keel buckled and the propellers jammed. During the 10-15 minutes the crew was engaged in battle, sailors vomited and wept; to hide from the barrage, others tried to claw their way into the steel belly of their vessel. The ship listed to port, with its bow low in the water, and the stink of fuel made it difficult to breathe below deck. The crippled Juneau withdrew from the fighting, later that morning joining a group of five surviving warships from the task force as they crawled toward the comparative safety of the Allied harbor at Espiritu Santo, in the New Hebrides. Fumes continued to foul the air in the holds; many of the ship’s original complement of 697 sailors — which included five brothers from Waterloo, Iowa — were crowded together topside, blistered from the sun. At 11:01 a.m., the Japanese submarine I-26 tracking the vessels fired another torpedo into the already off-kilter Juneau.

  • The Tale of the Sullivan(S) from the Beara Peninsula
    Brian P. Hegarty Jr. January 2017 The Tale of the Sullivan(s) from the Beara Peninsula When we visited Ireland in June 2016, the owner of the Bed and Breakfast where we were staying suggested we drive along the Sullivan Mile. So Amy and I did just that and the story goes like this. In 1849, Tom and Bridget Sullivan left Adrigole, Beara Peninsula, for a new life in the United States of America, where they started a family. Years later, their grandson, Tom, married a Mary Agnes Dignan. The couple settled in Waterloo, Iowa, and raised 5 sons: George, Francis, Joseph, Madison, and Albert. All five sons joined the US Navy and served on the USS Juneau during WW II. In November 1942, during the battle of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, a Japanese submarine torpedoed the ship. Many were killed, including the Sullivan brothers. Extensive newspaper and radio coverage made the family’s tragedy a national story, and Hollywood made a film The Fighting Sullivans (1944) based on a story of the brothers. In consequence of the suffering brought to the family by a single event, the US Navy altered its policy, prohibiting brothers from serving in action together. The five brothers were posthumously awarded the Purple Heart Medal, and a United States naval destroyer was commissioned in 1943 and named USS The Sullivans in their memory. A replacement USS The Sullivans was launched in 1995 by Kelly Longhren Sullivan, granddaughter of Albert and the ship anchored off the Beara peninsula. Commemorative plaques were unveiled in Adrigola, near the site of the original family home.

    Warm-up for 25-1 Put yourself in the place of a high school senior in December 1941 and think about how the news of war will impact your lives. Rosie the Riveter by the Four Vagabonds When the nation entered World War II in 1941, its armed forces ranked nineteenth in might, behind the tiny European nation of Belgium. Three years later, The United States was producing 40 percent of the world’s arms. Joining the War Effort 5 million people volunteered for the war after Pearl Harbor Selective Service System drafted another 10 million George Marshall- Army Chief of Staff General; pushed for WAAC Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps- allowed for women volunteers in non-combat positions; “auxiliary” status dropped in 1943 for full benefits (army integrated men & women in 1978) African Americans, Native Americans, Mexican Americans, & Asian Americans all volunteered even though they were discriminated against “Just carve on my tombstone, ‘Here lies a black man killed fighting a yellow man for the protection of a white man.’” “To be fighting for freedom and democracy in the Far East… and to be denied equal opportunity in the greatest of democracies seems the height of irony.” Over 1 million African Americans served in segregated units, more than 300,000 Mexican Americans, more than 13,000 Chinese, 33,000 Japanese, and 25,000 Native Americans. FDR persuaded Congress to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1943.

  • H012.1 Guadalcanal: Battle of Friday the 13 Th
    H012.1 Guadalcanal: Battle of Friday the 13 th S.J. Cox 8 Nov 17 The battles that took place in the sound between Guadalcanal and Tulagi after midnight on the night of 12-13 Nov 1942 and on 14-15 Nov are known by multiple names. RADM Samuel Eliot Morison in the History of U.S. Naval Operations in WWII refers to them as the “Naval Battle of Guadalcanal” with part one on 12-13 Nov and part two on 14-15 Nov. Other works call it the First Night Battle of Guadalcanal (which is confusing since Savo Island and Cape Esperance were also night battles off Guadalcanal.) Other sources refer to the Third and Fourth Battles of Savo Island, and Japanese sources refer to the Third and Fourth Battles of the Solomon Sea. Regardless, these two battles were the decisive engagements of the Guadalcanal campaign that turned the tide in U.S. favor. This time, U.S. naval intelligence and code-breakers provided extensive warning of the timing and force composition of the next major Japanese push to reinforce and re-take Guadalcanal, occupied by U.S. Marines since 7 Aug 52 (and since October, some U.S. Army troops as well.) Following the disastrous failure by Japanese Army forces to penetrate the U.S. perimeter and re-take Henderson Field in late October, the Japanese high command determined that yet another major reinforcement attempt take place, although the Japanese Army still grossly under-estimated the number of U.S. troops on Guadalcanal and how much force would be needed to evict them.
