The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Theodore A. (Ted) Hutches, Jr. our “Brother-in-Arms”. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Ted. And to Ted it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Vietnam War while serving in the U.S. Army. Ted, we commend you for your honorable service. You are a true patriot, who served with honor and distinction. You upheld the finest qualities of an American patriot warrior: courage, commitment, generosity, sacrifice, love and devotion to family and country. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,261 military veteran Legionnaires of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion and the 233 veterans of VFW Post 2238 in Shreveport, Louisiana, we extend our sympathies and our condolences to Ted's family and loved ones.

My heart and prayers goes out to family and friends. I didn't know you but I knew you had to be a great dad and just a great man altogether. You have raised 3 amazing kids, I just know MaryBeth and Tim. I went to school with both of them but later on I got the chance to work with Tim. Your family is one of the greatest of all. I know that this is hard for all 3 of the kids. They are just as nice as anyone can be and I am thankful for knowing them. MaryBeth and Tim, if you need anything please feel free to call anytime. God bless your family.
