Greetings Eagle Chapter Members and Friends |
|
Just hours ago, I received very sad news of a great loss to our career field, Eagle Chapter legacy and the Hutchens family of a great American patriot - Colonel (Retired) Stephen "Hutch" Hutchens - has passed away. Thanks to Dave Alcorn for sharing this information.
Hutch's family is having an online Celebration of Life tomorrow, October 29, 2022 at 1000. See the link below:
Meeting ID: 852 9428 1551
Passcode: Steve57
We were honored to have Hutch as a member of our board of officers. Hutch served as the first Eagle Chapter Vice Chair of the Air Force District of Washington Wing. Aside from hosting our chapter luncheons as shown above at Joint Base Andrews in 2014, Hutch would be one of the first to respond to combat-injured Security Forces Airmen who were med-evaced to Walter Reed. Hutch was also the SF Commander at Andrews who partnered with us when we hosted the 20th Annual Meeting of the AF Security Forces Association. A really great guy - I could go on. His absence is missed now.
Very respectfully,
"Lee"
