John F. Sullivan never had a chance to reach 100 years old today. Instead, he sacrificed his life for our freedom.

If you have enjoyed reading the stories of the WWII fallen, Can you help write some stories? It's a big project. The more help, the better.  Announcing "The Stories Behind the Stars", see https://www.storiesbehindthestars.org. This crowd-sourced national project has the goal of compiling stories of all 400,000+ of the US World War II fallen in one free-to-access central database. We are going to need a lot of volunteers. Anyone visiting a war memorial or gravesite will be able to scan the name of the fallen with a smartphone and his story will appear on the phone.

A native of Worcester, Massachusetts, he was born August 31, 1920. He joined the Army Air Forces and after training in the United States was assigned to the 777th Bomber Squadron, 464th Bomber Group, operating out of Pantanella Air Field in Italy. 

On July 28, 1944, he was bombardier on a B-24 bomber, attacking Nazi oil fields in Romania. His aircraft was struck by a bomb from another  American aircraft flying overhead and exploded. Crew members in other bombers saw the explosion and reported that no parachutes were seen. All 10 crewmen were presumed dead.

Another American B-24 flew into the fireball from Lt. Sullivan’s plane, and the crew had to bail out. They all landed safely. Some were protected by friendly Romanians, and others were captured by the Germans. All were returned to the States at the end of  hostilities.

Partial remains of Lt.  Sullivan and three other crew members were recovered after the war and interred in a common grave at the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis. Lt. Sullivan was survived by his wife, Gladiola J. Sullivan, of Westboro, Massachusetts.

Thank you, Lieutenant John F. Sullivan, for your sacrifice. Let’s earn it for John.

This profile was written by John F. Schlatter. “I’m from Knoxville, Tennessee and a retired corporate public relations manager, living in Las Vegas. I served as an active duty and reserve Army officer 1974-82. I’ve written two books about veterans. One tells the stories of WWII veterans through postcards they wrote to the folks back home, and the other honors about 50 of the 168 Americans who died in Vietnam on the Fourth of July. I’ve also been a volunteer in the effort to find photographs of all 58,000 Americans who died in Vietnam. Researching and writing the stories of those who died to preserve freedom has gone from a hobby to a passion for me. If we don’t honor and remember, who will?”

This is one of the final three stories (3) to be written as part of this project which ends on September 2, 2020, the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II.

Guy Franklin Frazier Jr. never had a chance to reach 100 years old today. Instead, he sacrificed his life for our freedom.

If you have enjoyed reading the stories of the WWII fallen, Can you help write some stories? It's a big project. The more help, the better.  Announcing "The Stories Behind the Stars", see https://www.storiesbehindthestars.org. This crowd-sourced national project has the goal of compiling stories of all 400,000+ of the US World War II fallen in one free-to-access central database. We are going to need a lot of volunteers. Anyone visiting a war memorial or gravesite will be able to scan the name of the fallen with a smartphone and his story will appear on the phone.

Guy was born August 30, 1920 in Rhea County, Tennessee. His parents Guy Franklin Frazier Sr. and Anna Bell (Tillett) Frazier were both born in Tennessee. His father worked as a farmer. Guy had one younger sister. His parents divorced some time before 1940, when Guy was living with his mother and sister in Covington, Kentucky. He graduated from Holmes High School in Covington.

Guy enlisted in the US Navy Reserve on 16 February 1942 in Cincinnati, Ohio. He joined the crew of fleet replenishment oiler USS Sapelo on 28 October 1942 as a seaman 2nd class, then became part of the initial crew of the destroyer USS Shubrick (DD-639) as a radioman 3rd class when it was commissioned on 7 February 1943. RM3c Frazier married the former Beatrice Clara Cruse on 21 February 1943 in Portsmouth, Virginia and they had a son, Guy Franklin Frazier III. 

After commissioning and shakedown, Shubrick sailed for North Africa with a large convoy on 8 June 1943 and took part in Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily. While in port at Palermo, Italy on 4 August 1943 Shubrick was hit by a 500-pound bomb during an air raid and had to return to the States for repairs. After completion of repairs, Shubrick made two convoy runs to Europe and back before participating in the D-Day shore bombardment, then remained off the Normandy coast for the next month performing escort duties, fire support missions, and anti-submarine patrols. In mid-July 1944, she joined a task group bound for the Mediterranean and then later returned to the US for overhaul.

On 1 February 1945, Shubrick transited the Panama Canal to join the US Pacific Fleet. She departed from Pearl Harbor on 21 April 1945 escorting the battleship USS Mississippi to Okinawa, where she supported the landings at Tori Shima on 12 May 1945 and patrolled off the coast of Okinawa. 

On 29 May 1945, Shubrick was attacked by two kamikaze aircraft, one of which crashed into the ship, blowing a 30-foot hole in the starboard side, and causing secondary explosions. RM3c Frazier was one of 35 crewmen killed and another 25 were wounded in the attack.

Guy Franklin Frazier Jr. was initially buried on Okinawa and in 1949 was reinterred in Valley Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in Knoxville, Tennessee. His widow remarried after the war and passed away in 1998.

Thank you RM3C Frazier for your sacrifice. Let's Earn It for Guy.

WW2 Fallen - Bryant Burnett, 2nd Infantry Division

Private Bryant Burnett served in the 37th Field Artillery Battalion attached to the 2nd Infantry Division.

Bryant Burnett, Jr. never had a chance to reach 100 years old today. Instead he sacrificed his life for our freedom.

If you have enjoyed reading the stories of the WWII fallen, Can you help write some stories? It's a big project. The more help, the better.  Announcing "The Stories Behind the Stars", see https://www.storiesbehindthestars.org. This crowd-sourced national project has the goal of compiling stories of all 400,000+ of the US World War II fallen in one free-to-access central database. We are going to need a lot of volunteers. Anyone visiting a war memorial or gravesite will be able to scan the name of the fallen with a smartphone and his story will appear on the phone.

Bryant Burnett, Jr. was born on 29 Aug 1920 to Bryant Burnett, Sr., a plasterer from Tennessee and Bertha O’Banion from Arkansas. Bryant had one brother Eldridge born in 1918. Eldridge was a fireman who died as a result of a homicide on 23 May 1943. His sister Pansy was born in 1912, and Helen in 1911.

Bryant completed schooling through the 7th grade.. In 1940 Bryant was working as a carpenter’s helper.

Bryant Burnett enlisted in the Army on 15 Oct 1940 at Houston, Texas and was attached to the 37th Field Artillery Battalion, 2nd Division which was reactivated 1 October 1940 at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas. 

The 37th Field Artillery Battalion participated in the campaigns at Normany (D-Day), the Battle of the Bulge including the Ardennes and N. France, Central Europe and Rhineland.

The 2nd Infantry Division was transferred from Fort Sam Houston to Camp McCoy, Wisconsin in November 1942 where it trained until it deployed to Ireland in October, 1943.  As part of the buildup for operation Overlord, the Normandy invasion, it spent ten months in Ireland undergoing more extensive training.  On 7 June 1944, D-Day+1, the Division came ashore in France at bloody Omaha Beach.  It liberated the first of many cities, Trevieres, two days later.  The Indianheads battled their way through the hedgerows of Normandy in very tough fighting.  Later, after a fierce 21-day battle, the 2nd Infantry Division, fighting in the streets and alleyways, finally liberated the vital port city of Brest on 18 September 1944.

Once mop-up operations were complete in the Normandy region, the Division attacked east across France.  From positions around St. Vith, Belgium, the Second was ordered on 11 December 1944 to attack and seize the Roer River dams.  Having pierced the dreaded Siegfried Line, the Division was advancing when Nazi Field Marshal Gerd Von Rundstedt unleashed a powerful German offensive in the Ardennes.  Throughout this Battle of the Bulge, the 2nd Infantry Division, along with the 101st Airborne Division and others, held fast and preventing the enemy from seizing key roads leading to the cities of Liege and Antwerp.  

The 37th FAB was awarded the Belgian Fourragere 1940 with two citations in the Order of the Day of the Belgian Army, one for the Ardennes and another for Elsenborn Crest (also called Elsenborn Ridge).

Resuming the offensive on 6 February 1945, the Division joined the race to annihilate the fleeing Wehrmacht.

Transferred from the First Army to Patton’s Third Amy, the Indianheads spent their last weeks of the European War in a dash through central Germany. By the end of April the 2nd ID had reached the German border with Czechoslovakia in the area of Waldmuchen. Pvt. Burnett suffered a severe head wound and was admitted to a hospital on April 29. Private Burnett died of wounds on May 1. We don't know the circumstances that caused his head wound, but it is possible that he could have been a forward artillery observer which would have put him in at the edge of the front lines on a regular basis. Or it may have been the result of an artillery gun recoil. The war in Europe ended seven days later. He was one of the last of more than 3,200 men lost during the war from the 2nd ID.

Private Burnett was awarded the following citations: Purple Heart, WWII Victory Medal, American Campaign Medal, Army Presidential Unit Citation, and the Army Good Conduct Medal.

Bryant Burnett, Jr., is buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in Houston, Texas. He was 24 years old.

Note – Bryant’s headstone reads that he was a Pvt. his headstone application states he was a Pfc. at time of death. Roster of the dead in Texas states he was DOW (died of wounds) where another says KIA.

Thank you, Bryant Burnett, Jr. for your sacrifice. Let’s ‘Earn It” for Bryant.

WW2 Tinian Fallen - Silver Star hero George Gorball, 2nd Marine Division

Sgt. George Gorbell, 2nd Marine Divison earned the Silver Star at Tinian.
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/47826034/george-william-gorball
https://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USMC/USMC-C-Tinian/index.html

George William Gorball never had a chance to reach 100 years old today. Instead, he sacrificed his life for our freedom.

If you have enjoyed reading the stories of the WWII fallen, Can you help write some stories? It's a big project. The more help, the better.  Announcing "The Stories Behind the Stars", see https://www.storiesbehindthestars.org. This crowd-sourced national project has the goal of compiling stories of all 400,000+ of the US World War II fallen in one free-to-access central database. We are going to need a lot of volunteers. Anyone visiting a war memorial or gravesite will be able to scan the name of the fallen with a smartphone and his story will appear on the phone.

George was born on August 28, 1920 in Ranchester, Wyoming. His parents Carroll and Laura (Short) were born in Nebraska and Iowa, respectively. His father worked as a farmer, a US Mail carrier, and a construction foreman. George had three older sisters, a younger sister and a younger brother. By 1940 George had moved away from home. His parents were living in Laramie and moved to West Ogden, Utah during the war.

He enlisted in the US Marine Corps in July 1940. He was sent to Pearl Harbor one week after the Japanese December 1941 attack. He reached the rank of sergeant in Company C, 1st Battalion (Engineers), 18th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division. 

George would have participated in the battles of Tarawa and Saipan. Having made it through those two bloody conflicts he was a sergeant when it came time for the 2nd Marine Division to take Tinian which was needed as an airbase for the Twentieth Air Force. It landed on the island on July 25, 1944. It was a tough assignment only two weeks after a month of fighting at Saipan.

August 1 would be the last day of the fighting. At that time the Japanese were making their last stand in caves and ravines on the south end of the island. In the act of flushing out the remaining defenders many Marines were wounded. Under fire, Sgt. Gorball crossed dangerous minefields to come to their aid. He was fatally wounded himself and died one day later on August 2, 1944. Sgt. Gorball was one of 326 Marines killed in this battle, far less than future battles would cost. This was the last time the Japanese contested the landing at the beaches to no avail. After Tinian the Japanese would switch to a defense in depth strategy that would prove so costly at Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

Sgt. Gorball's selfless actions from August 1 were recognized by a posthumous Silver Star award. The citation reads as follows:

The President of the United States of America takes pride in presenting the Silver Star (Posthumously) to Sergeant George W. Gorball (MCSN: 289589), United States Marine Corps, for conspicuous Gallantry and intrepidity while serving with the First Battalion, Eighteenth Marines, SECOND Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Tinian, Marianas Islands, 1 August 1944. 

When members of an assault engineer mine reconnaissance patrol sustained serious casualties as a result of intense enemy fire, Sergeant Gorball unhesitatingly volunteered to assist in removing the wounded and, fearlessly braving the terrific barrages from powerful automatic weapons, picked his way through dangerous minefields to the exposed position where men lay helpless. Fatally wounded while administering aid to one of the Marines, Sergeant Gorball exhausted his fast waning strength to care for his companion, persisting in his heroic efforts until he collapsed. 

By his outstanding courage in the face of extreme peril, his exceptional initiative and his unwavering devotion to duty, he upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.
General Orders: Commander in Chief, Pacific: Serial 1296 (February 22, 1945)

His grave is at Sheridan Municipal Cemetery in Sheridan, Wyoming.

Thank you Sergeant Gorball for your sacrifice. Let's Earn It for George.

Anyone visiting a war memorial or gravesite will be able to scan the name of the fallen with a smartphone and his story will appear on the phone.

John was born August 27, 1920, in, Missouri to John Edward McCray. John had completed 3 years of college and was employed by the J.I. Case Company.  John married his sweetheart Georgiana M. 

McCray was drafted in Racine, Wisconsin on Valentines Day 1942. He volunteered to serve in the Army Air Forces. He was assigned to the 524 Bombardment Squadron, 379th Bombardment Group which was sent to England in the spring of 1943. He reached the rank of second lieutenant. Lt. McCray likely joined his unit in 1944.

“The air echelon of the squadron arrived at RAF Bovingdon by 24 April 1943, and remained there until 21 May, when it joined the ground echelon at RAF Kimbolton, which was to be its combat station for the remainder of its time in the European Theater of Operations. The squadron flew its first combat mission on 29 May, and focused on the strategic bombing campaign against Germany. This mission was the starting point for the first Distinguished Unit Citation (DUC) awarded to the squadron for its sustained actions through the end of July 1944. Targets included industrial sites, oil refineries, storage plants, submarine pens, airfields and communications centers in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway and Poland. Targets included a chemical plant in Ludwigshafen, an aircraft assembly plant in Braunschweig, ball bearing plants at Schweinfurt and Leipzig, synthetic oil refineries at Merseburg and Gelsenkirchen, marshalling yards at Hamm and Reims and airfields in le Mesnil-au-Val and Berlin. The squadron received a second DUC for its attack on the FW190 aircraft factory at Oschersleben and the Junkers factory at Halberstadt on 11 January 1944.”

“During the Northern France Campaign, the squadron bombed enemy positions to assist ground troops during Operation Cobra, the breakout at Saint Lo on 24 and 25 July 1944. It attacked German communications and fortifications during the Battle of the Bulge, from December 1944 through January 1945 and bombed bridges and viaducts in France and Germany to aid the Allied assault across the Rhine, from February to March 1945.[3] The squadron flew its last mission on 25 April 1945” [2]

Second Lieutenant McCray was killed on bombing mission over Dortmund, Germany on 4 October 1944. The target was the railway yards.

UPDATE: Lt John McCray was killed on 05 October 1944. He was the Navigator for the Lt Mills Crew on board "Swamp Fire". He was "Swamp Fire's" only KIA out of the nearly 400 Airmen who flew on her. He was three missions away from completing his tour and returning home to his wife and "Swamp Fire" was three mission away from setting the record of "First Heavy Bomber to reach 100 missions without an abort. His crew delayed their return home to fly that mission. I have spoken to his widow and others in his family about his war time experiences. If you want to discover more about "Swamp Fire", her crews and accomplishment to include the missions of Lt John McCray go to our website or Face book page on "Swamp Fire" or contact us at swampfire1944@gmail.com. 

His wife received Lt McCray's Air Medal with Three Oak Leaf Clusters in his memory as well as the Purple Heart. [1]

John’s final resting place is in Calvary Catholic Cemetary in Racine, Wisconsin.

Thank you for your sacrifice. Let's Earn It for Second Lieutenant John E. McCray.
