Celebrate the birth of A Connecticut hero

SSG Richard Eaton, Jr. (2/9/66) of Guilford answered to “Rick” by family and friends. He was a history buff who loved to read and played soccer and coached a children’s soccer team while stationed in Honduras.

His death came nearly two years after a hijacked plan crashed into his office at the Pentagon in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. He was not working at the Pentagon at the time because his office was being renovated. Eaton was in the Army Reserves and deployed to Iraq at the time of his death. He was a young man who was dedicated to his country for which we will be forever grateful.

FROM CT. TREES OF HONOR!
