The US War Department introduced the policy after five siblings, the Sullivan brothers, died when their light cruiser the USS Juneau was sunk in the Second World War.
They named a destroyer after them. It was also mentioned in the movie Svaing Private Ryan.

Tough on the the family to lose the two sons. Will the survivor be given a state side posting (A.K.A. desk job) or will he be given a discharge??
