Two retired New York Jets players helped bring some Christmas cheer Monday to the family of a Gang Green-loving National Guard vet from Long Island who died on a business trip to China.

Former Jets wide receiver Wesley Walker and running back Freeman McNeil joined local officials at the Freeport home of the late Norman Easy with a fully decorated, 8-foot-tall Fraser fir tree, a catered meal and a load of gifts.
