Brown, Edward (L)
US Navy, WWII
At the start of WWII, it was common for brothers to join the same branch of the military and serve alongside one another.
The December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor changed this custom. Thirty-six sets of brothers were lost when the USS Arizona was sunk. Shortly after, the Navy encouraged brothers to serve on different ships.
The Brown brothers of Warrenton (Edward, Elmer, and William) were all serving on the same vessel. After the tragic loss of the Arizona, the three brothers served on different ships for the remainder of the war.
