Remembering An American Hero
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
With respect, Sir
Curt Carter
You will always be remembered
In honor of my Uncle David,
Today marks the 42nd Anniversary of the day you gave your life to protect our freedom. It is a date I will always remember.
Remembrance
David was my Maternal Uncle. His residence is incorrectly listed as Norman, Illinois instead of Lawrence County in Norman, Indiana on the Memorial Wall as well as this site.David was the Senior Class President of Heltonville High School in 1967. David was to be the 4th generation to carry on his family's homestead in North Eastern Lawrence County, Norman, Indiana. 23 years after his death in Vietnam, I purchased the family farm from his sisters after my grandparent's deaths. He was the sole surviving son of Everett & Minnie Easton, yet gave his life for his country, thus leaving a void in the history of the Easton Homestead Farm on Henderson Creek.Larry Incollingo wrote a story for the Times Mail newspaper that told how his classmates dug his grave by hand in the Gilgal Cemetary after his death.
