In this episode we\\u2019re looking at three brothers all in the US Navy at the start of the war, and their remarkable story.

Today I\\u2019m joined by Sally Mott Freeman, her book \\u201cThe Jersey Brothers: A Missing Naval Officer in the Pacific and His Family\'s Quest to Bring Him Home\\u201d follows her father and his two brothers through the war.

Bill Mott would start the war in FDR\\u2019s Whitehouse Map room, his brother Benny would be on the Carrier USS Enterprise and Barton was a supply officer based in the Philippines\\u2026

Their experience brings out how difficult it must have been for families at war.
