Warden Hutto,
On today, the 20th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army as a member of the 82nd “All-American” Airborne Division. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Airborne All The Way!
