what they'd seen or done, but they
told enough to let me know they had
seen action and had done something
Mweru getting even for BUI." Mrs
Sullivan said.
"BUI" was William Ball of nearby
Fredericksburg, a friend who was
killed in the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor;
When the Sullivan boys Oeorge, M

boys wanted it and I'm glad they were
