You will always be my 5 Star General. Your memory has guided me through a very interesting life. I have brought 2 sons into this world and 2 daughters. I wish you could hug them. The youngest shares our name. He is Donald Thomas Lutz III. The oldest is my daughter Katrina who will graduate from A&T in December. Katrina has 2 daughters and a good man. Sascha is the oldest son of mine. Victoria Alicia is my youngest daughter. I am really trying to be a man that you would be proud to call your son. I have made mistakes but I really feel I have been a good man for most of my life. I do miss not having you around, but I do know you have always been with me in spirit. You will never be forgotten. Your Son, Donald Thomas Lutz Jr.

Dearest Donald, On this day 36 years ago you made the Ultimate Sacrifice. You gave your life for your Country, your family and friends. Your are GONE but NOT FORGOTTEN. GOD BLESS YOU.
