Members of Waterloo Council 700 look on as the base of a statue honoring the five Sullivan Brothers is relocated to its new home next to the council's hall. George, Francis, Joseph, Madison and Albert Sullivan were Waterloo natives serving aboard the USS Juneau when it was sunk by the Japanese in 1942. All five brothers were killed in action, and a statue was erected in their memory at St. Mary's Church and School. When the parish closed in 2006, the statue fell into serious disrepair. It was at this point that the council undertook a project to restore and relocate the statue to a more suitable location. Knights worked with contractors to move the statue and its base, and created a cement display area around it.
