The Style brothers were two of the 9,765 Minnesotans killed or missing from the war, but they're also among more than 200 sets of brothers buried together in overseas American military cemeteries who are featured in a new coffee-table book titled "Brothers in Arms" (brothersinarmsbook.com). While visiting an American WWII cemetery in Italy with his family 10 years ago, Connecticut author Kevin Callahan came across the adjacent graves of two brothers killed in combat. The poignancy inspired Callahan to research brothers buried side-by-side at 14 American WWII cemeteries around the globe, from North Africa to the Philippines. Sullivan was 16 when she lost her brothers, something she said the family never thought would happen. And 35 years after that, Liz Sullivan was planting bleeding hearts in a Belgium cemetery.
