Note from Easton Courier editors: As we continue to honor and mourn those who have died while serving in the United States armed forces – and in light of Easton’s Memorial Day tribute to those who served during the Vietnam War – the Courier is featuring two previously published articles, “Remembering Easton’s Lost Sons” and “Good Morning Vietnam,” from the impeccably researched series “Easton in the Service,” written by local historians and community contributors Bruce Nelson and Elizabeth Boyce. Click on the images or links below to read the articles. We also include links below to other articles in this important series.
