Excerpts: Dick / March 26, 1953 / Doug
Containing items of historical interest for military enthusiasts as well as bits of nostalgia that will appeal to general readers of Americana, Leatherneck Sea Stories is an informal collection of profiles of Marines and memories of serving in the Corps during and after the Korean conflict of the 1950s, all culled straight from the heartfelt experiences of the author.
As a member of the “old breed,” Dave Easton might bristle at being labeled a literary artist, but the reader of Leatherneck Sea Stories will quickly discern a clever turn of the phrase to go along with his eloquent demonstration of the fine art of storytelling.
Easton served in the Marines from January 1951 until January 1954, with the time split between the 2nd Division in North Carolina and the 1st Division in Korea. He re-enlisted in the Corps for another three-year hitch in February 1957, and later agreed to a two-year extension to qualify for embassy duty. He finished his enlistment in C Company, 2nd Recon Battalion, and was honorably discharged in February 1962.
