  1. Dear Dutcher family, it is with deep regret, and pain in my heart, to attempt to convey how sorry I was to hear of LCPL Dutchers death. When will it end? I plan on being at veterans cemetary when Michael is interred. Being former military myself,1966-1971, I still cannot hold back the flood of tears when one of our young HEROES HAS FALLEN. God bless you & yours, hopefully the pain will lessen for you over the years, I have lost more friends and family than care too remember, and the older I get the deeper the pain. SEMPER FIDELIS Michael! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE. CPO S/T ONE BUDS CLASS 17...
