My brother Joseph Lipton (Lance Corporal) U.S.M.C.

My brother was in a Canine Corps that was out of San Francisco, Calif. He was a wonderful guy. At the time of his death, he was engaged to wonderful girl named Joan. Joseph joined the Marines at 17. He had become ill after 2 weeks in VietNam, and he was hospitalized. I heard he was being evacuated. We were then told he was missing for about 2 weeks, and then they told us they found him. He was loved by many friends and family. We were never informed of what actually happened.~Betty Lipton DiGiacomo
