Lynch Jr.&#8217;s daughter, Karen Petrella, is doing her best to correct her father&#8217;s headstone at Veterans Memorial Field section of Silver Lane Cemetery. She says that D\u2019Esopo East Hartford Memorial Chapel is to blame for the engraving error falsely identifying her father as veteran of the Vietnam War;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Her father would not want \u201cVietnam\u201d on his tombstone because he was always honest about his service and would not want his grandchildren, great grandchildren or anyone else in the future to think he made false claims, Petrella said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not slept through the night since I lost my father, and a lot of it is stress because of this,\u201d Petrella said Thursday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lynch served honorably in the Connecticut National Guard when most of his generation avoided military service. It looks like a corrected marker will replace the erroneous stone when it gets warmer. It&#8217;s nice to see that some family members are willing to go the extra mile to keep the record correct. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hartford Currant reports that Michael W.
