I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family of Maynard Futscher. I met Mr. Futscher a few years ago when I became one of the few female active members of the Disabled American Veterans. From the onset of my becoming a member, Mr. Futscher went out of his way to welcome me into the ranks of the many hero's within the local chapter. Maynard, I salute you and God bless!
