Another article mentioned the poor McHenry County mother who had sons in the service of her country. The September 9, 1944, McHenry Plaindealer had a write up about the five Steinsdoerfer brothers serving.
Richard, 18, the youngest had just completed basic training
Alvin, 28, the oldest
Leonard, 26
James, 22
Irvin, 21
That was one woman who wouldn't want to see someone approaching her house with a telegram.
I was also unable to find any further information on the five brothers. I sure would have liked to know their story.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
